This previous pick may be familiar to Cork ‘n Cap regulars. It is our current $99 wooden crate wine special. 2015 was an especially good vintage for Bordeaux and this blend of 
predominantly Merlot delivers for the price. Traditional in style, this medium bodied red goes great with a variety of summer fare, including just about any red meat off of the grill. Just $9.99 per bottle or $99 for a 12 bottle case in a wooden crate.

Part of the fun with wine is how it can challenge your preconceived notions and expectations. This is a wine worth giving a taste. For those of you who
can’t imagine there being a Muscat you would like, here is one you might. If you like sweet Muscat (or Moscato as the Italians call it) here is a rare opportunity to taste a drier version of a wine made from that grape.
Mont Gravet comes from vineyards located in the Gascony region, near the city of Toulouse in the South West of France. The climate combines the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences, which brings enough sun and humidity to
grow rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. Close to the producers, and in order to source the best vineyards, our winemaker has found some amazing “terroirs” spread on hills. These hills are called “Mont” in French. So as a tribute to the terroir from where the wine comes from we have named in Mont Gravet, “Gravet” being the name of an oval shaped rock commonly found in the area.
This dry red has a deep, dark color with lovely aromas of blackberries and figs. This wine is full bodied and rich in flavor, but elegant with a long fruit-forward finish. An amazing bargain at $8.99, this wine is a great one to keep as a weekday “house wine”.
This previous wine of the week comes from the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of blackberry, cherry, plum, dusty cedar and baking spice. Robust flavors of black plum, blackberry, cherry, pomegranate and currant jelly. Layered earthy crisp berry, cherry and spice. Dry tannins make for a clean finish.
The Grapes: Carignane and Cinsaut are the varieties that make up this blend. They come from the same vineyard that produce varietal Carignane and Cinsaut. This wine is Carignane 60%, Cinsaut 40%.
The Vineyard: Cinsaut & Carignane grows on dusty red soiled bench land above the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County.
The Wine: Here is a blend of two very complimentary Rhone grape varieties.Aged 23 months in small neutral oak barrels. Unfined/ unfiltered so expect some sediment as the wine ages. C2 ages gracefully.
