MOUNT PEAK "GRAVITY"
RED BLEND • SONOMA & NAPA VALLEY
"Centripetal force: a dense, dark, and magnetic blend that captures the untamed essence of California's steepest hillside vineyards."
High-Altitude Magnetism
Mount Peak Gravity is a tribute to frontier viticulture. This ultra-premium blend breaks from convention by featuring Petite Sirah as the protagonist, achieving an almost impenetrable density and color. Sourced from historic hillside vineyards, where gravity defines both soil drainage and winemaking methods, this wine is a monumental expression of strength and dark elegance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Petite Sirah contribute to this blend?
Petite Sirah is Gravity's "anchor"; it provides the deep color, massive tannic structure, and black fruit notes that define its magnetic personality.
Is it a wine for immediate consumption?
It can be enjoyed now with prior decanting, but its true glory will be revealed after 5 to 8 years in the cellar, where the tannins will become even silkier.
