Montagne Russe is a quiet star amongst wine critics. Focusing on single vineyards from the Central Coast to Mendocino, their wines exude freshness within power. This bottling, sourced from the Old Lakeville Road vineyard in Sonoma Coast, is pure Syrah which showcases the beauty of earth underneath all the oodles of fruit. On the nose, sweet plums and cherries bounce from the glass, then you find the good stuff: warm green olives, barbecue spice, and smoked meat.
