MOUNT PEAK "GRAVITY"
RED BLEND 750 ML
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 with convention by placing Petite Sirah at center stage, achieving an almost impenetrable density and color. Sourced from historic hillside vineyards, where gravity defines both soil drainage and the winemaking method, this wine is a monumental expression of strength and dark elegance.

4. Pairing and Recommendation
High Protein: An ideal companion for braised beef short ribs, roasted wild boar, or black-pepper-crusted cuts.
Mexican Fusion: Its robustness is one of the few capable of harmonizing with the complexity of a Mole Poblano or intense smoked chili sauces.
Cheeses: Blue Stilton, Gorgonzola, or very long-aged cheeses.
Service: We recommend decanting for 1 hour and serving between 16°C and 18°C.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Petite Sirah contribute to this blend?
Petite Sirah is the "anchor" of Gravity; it provides the deep color, the massive tannic structure, and the black fruit notes that define its magnetic personality.
Is this 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.
