Mountain Selection Song

TASTING NOTES:
Mountain Selection - “Produced in the Italian old world, food friendly style. Blueberry and raspberry blend into a bright center of cola, and red liquorish flowing into a flavorful lingering finish.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.38, RS < 0.2%)

J&S - “Fruit forward, rich full flavors expressing both the varietal and the Amador Terroir. This complex wine has notes of bright red cherries, pepper and mulberry with a bright center finishing with chocolate and spice.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.55, RS @ 0.2%)

BARRELS
21 months in French Oak for both.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
I… honestly, I can’t top that. It’s literally your best meals.
