Loved this wine! Full body with a true bite, hence the perfect name ‘Rattlesnake’ Pricey but worth it for a special tasting!

Holy Cow. THE PROS ARE NOT ON MY PALATE RATING!!!!!! This is the best of the three. No, its not my third full glass of wine. I have now sampled 1oz of each wine. This is Mount Peak Winery’s 2014 Rattlesnake! This is 100% Zinfandel from Sonoma. From the highest point on Monte Rosso Vineyard, where actual rattle snakes can be seen on the vines, Rattlesnake is my favorite of the three - Sentinel and Gravity being the other two. The bouquet is fig pudding! The initial palate is loaded with dark fruit including blackberry, ripe fig, dark currant, blueberry, and black cherries. Then comes the chocolate and spice!!!!! Love the spice. It is not too much nor too little. The finish is also smoky and dry as any wine I have ever had!!!!! Ill take that glass of water now. I love this Zin!!! Okay... the Gravity is just as good. If you like spice- Rattlesnake is it, but if you like dark fruit as the leading flavor, you will love Gravity! But heck the cab is kick ass too!!!!

Between 9 (melanie) and 9.1. Under ripe fruits and less smooth than other zins but opens nicely. Full bodied and high alcohol. Very enjoyable- Carly.
