Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Valley Mountain Cuvee 23

at Pals Bar And Bottle Shop · $27.60

The 2023 Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée from Sonoma County is a medium-bodied red blend crafted in a Bordeaux style. It opens with inviting aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum layered with warm baking spices and a hint of dried herbs. On the palate, it shows bright red and dark fruit balanced by smooth tannins and fresh acidity, giving it structure without feeling heavy. Subtle notes of cedar and earth add depth, and the finish is clean, polished, and food-friendly. It’s an approachable yet thoughtfully made Sonoma red that pairs well with grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, or roasted vegetables.
