Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée is a Bordeaux-style red blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Its medium-bodied style brings generous fruit and an elegant structure together in a wine suited to relaxed meals and backyard gatherings.
Boysenberry, cranberry and pomegranate mingle with juicy red fruit and black currant, followed by hints of toasty oak and cedar. Silky tannins carry the palate toward a dark chocolate finish.
Winemaker Description
Winemaker Description : A Bordeaux-obsessed blend featuring layer upon layer of ripe fruit - think boysenberry, cranberry and pomegranate - followed by a hint of toasty oak. Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée is a medium-bodied, red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot packed with juicy red fruit, black currants and and a dark chocolate finish. We’re getting silky tannins. Hints of oak and cedar. And an elegant structure with a finish that’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Enjoy it on its own or paired up with something as perfectly unassuming as the wine (Gundlach Bundschu especially loves it with backyard burgers).
Expert Review · Vintage 2023
James Suckling, 90 Point : Aromas of dark fruit, dried herbs, plums, violets, tobacco leaves, black and red fruit and a hint of graphite. The tannins are abundant but not aggressive. Full-bodied and very satisfying.
Previous Vintage Reviews · 2021
Tasting Panel, 92 Points, Vintage 2021: This blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and small portions of Cab Franc and Malbec offers standout scents of dark chocolate and blackberry cobbler. It's rich and round, with supple tannins and a dusty mouthfeel. Coffee and wildflowers combine to create an expansive array of aromas and flavors as plum and oak enter midway, tan- gling with good acidity to affirm the wine's fine food-pairing abilities.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points, Vintage 2021: Velvety in texture and full in body, this moderately tannic wine is packed with milk chocolate, black cherries and vanilla flavors. It is quietly powerful, and its rich chocolaty character lingers on the finish.
