Saviah Cellars Big Sky Cuvee 07

We first tasted this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot last fall and liked it. Five months later, we got second date and have fallen in love. Montana native Richard Funk brings out aromas of milk chocolate, black currant and plum with crushed thyme and minerality notes. There’s a rich reward of blackberry milk shake on the mouthcoating palate with black cherry, plum and loganberry notes. Sweet tannins and bright acidity carry into a finish of Godiva chocolate. Suggested fare to accompany includes wild game or lamb served with a Montana huckleberry demi-glaze. - Andy Perdue, Wine Press Northwest

2007 was an incredible vintage and the grapes achieved a per- fect ripeness. Super rich aromas of red and black fruits, toasted fennel seeds and savory herbs. Delicious flavors of ripe black cherry, mountain berries, with a touch of toasty vanilla spice. - the winery
