John Mark Avant-Courier 2018 Winemaker’s Cuve Sonoma County, California

Description

Born from the tradition of artful blending in Bordeaux, the John Mark Avant-Courier puts hand-picked batches of world-class fruit into the bottle. What’s a cuvée? A cuvée is a labor of love. It goes one step further than picking from specific parcels of land by picking from specific barrels. In every vintage individual components are kept apart and blended purely on taste. The result is magnificent. This wine is serious with dark fruits, spices, and minerals blending together to mouthwateringly complex results. Notes of blueberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant fade into baking spice and anise with a hint of minerality. This is a beautiful wine just waiting to be savored.
