Winemaker Notes
Our Moon Mountain Estate Vineyard is located at elevations of 1100 - 1650 feet on the west side of Mount Veeder in the southern Mayacamas Mountains which separate Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The closest winery neighbors are Mayacamas Vineyard above, and Hanzell and Louis Martini Monte Rosso Vineyards below. It is a complex of twenty-two separate vineyard blocks, totaling sixty-six acres. These mountain grapes are noted for producing intensely flavored wines with excellent aging potential.
Professional Ratings
- Wine Spectator
With its name inspired by the method that workers used to create the original vineyard site on the rocky slopes of the Sonoma Valley, Dynamite Vineyards captured the public’s imagination when its 1991 vintage was released. More importantly, with their full-flavored character, approachable style and unbeatable value, Dynamite Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were soon winning awards and fans.
As consumer demand grew for these impressive wines, Dynamite Vineyards gradually expanded its vineyard sources to include grapes grown throughout the North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake Counties), primarily in mountain vineyards. In order to support its continued growth, Dynamite will soon move to a new facility close to vineyards in Lake County’s highly regarded Red Hills growing area. The colorful Dynamite Vineyards labels change each vintage while the wine maintains consistent quality and superb value.
