Summit represents the pinnacle of everything we do at Mt. Boucherie. Our most cherished blocks from our estate vineyards are treated with the velvet gloves by Winemaker Jeff Hundertmark. The best barrels of the given vintage are selected after approximately 12 months, and then blended together for up to an additional year to develop in barrel. A further two years in bottle before release ensure that while 2020 Summit has immense aging potential, it will deliver rich and sumptuous flavous immediately upon release, making it a rare wine for your most special occasions. 2020 was an excellent growing year, though highly limited with small yields, making this wine both increasingly desirable and scarce.
