Silver Mountain 2010 Alloy Red (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Alloy
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Silver Mountain / Santa Cruz Mountains

Quite dark in the glass, this blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot starts with snappy boysenberry aromas and grows more savory with dust and dried pine needle notes. The palate’s acidity is expertly integrated, carrying charred blueberry, minty dill and cocoa flavors.
