With its own special microclimate near our large pond, this 65-year-old sustainably grown vineyard has a unique northern exposed hillside. This gives us the sleekest and most elegant of all our single-vineyard offerings. This plot is named for the cougar that travels through the vineyard making its way to the pond for water. Full-bodied with superbly integrated flavors of dried fruit and herbal aromatics leading to a silky smooth texture with mid pallet hints of huckleberry, cocoa, dried cranberries, and a signature mountain brambly character. Rich and satisfying with a warm lingering finish.
Pairs beautifully with an herb grilled flat iron steak, Chicago style linguica pizza, lamb chops and soft ripe cheeses.
