2006 Due Mondi SV

Winemaker's Notes:

Due Mondi stands for the "two worlds" of France's famous viticultural areas, namely, Bordeaux and Rhone. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, from Bordeaux and Syrah and Petite Sirah which come from Rhone. This wine was challenging to make since each variety has characteristic flavor and mouthfeel which I wanted to preserve in the final wine without compromise.

Due Mondi bears the Gallery Collection label which denotes that this is a limited production wine made from premium quality grapes carefully crafted with extra care and attention. It was aged for 15 months in premium French oak barrels.

The rich dark purple color is complemented with rich aromas of dark berries and hints of spice and chocolate. In the mid-palate the berry flavors transform to black cherry and the spiciness intensifies. In the finish this full body wine has a remarkable richness that carries the fruit, the spice and nuances of chocolate all the way to the end.
