Winemaker Notes
Gravity Red Blend is named for a remote, hard-to-reach block on Mount Peak's historic Monte Rosso Vineyard, where Petite Sirah vines cling to a steep slope on the edge of a canyon. The wine opens with aromas of baked blueberry, freshly brewed coffee and dried apricot. The concentrated and multifaceted palate adds notes of acai berry, dark plum, cocoa powder and underpinnings of tar and cracked pepper. Lengthy and well-structured, supported by fine, but firm, tannins.
Professional Ratings
93 Wine Enthusiast
Here is a testament to good-quality, California-appellated wines. This red blend opens with immediate aromas of fresh violets, plump black cherry, black currant, chocolate, tarragon, fennel and toasted wood. The palate mirrors those aromatics, but they jump with vivacity from the solid dose of acidity and generous alcohol. Firm tannic texture adds structural integrity, leading toward a fairly lengthy finish.
91 Wine Spectator
Ripe and gutsy, with a dense core of tannins framed by blackberry and currant flavors. Reveals espresso, cracked pepper and grilled anise accents that finish with tannic grip. Hands off for now. Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Syrah, Sangiovese, Viognier, Grenache and Malbec. Best from 2025 through 2031.
91 James Suckling
A juicy red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut character. Some hazelnut, too. Full-bodied. Layered and flavorful. Big, but not heavy.
