Winemaker Notes
The 1999 vintage began with a mild spring followed by a moderately cool summer, resulting in the grapes gaining longer hangtime, which develops complex flavors. This marked the first year we harvested grapes from the vineyard blocks that were replanted due to the 1996 wildfire. Our low yielding mountain vines produced intensely concentrated grapes with extraordinary ripe flavors and well-integrated tannins. More than fifteen separate lots were fermented from our estate vineyard and two adjacent vineyards on Moon Mountain. From these, we selected ten lots for the Moon Mountain Reserve. This wine is characterized by aromas of ripe blackberry, classic Black Forest Cake with hints of wild Sonoma sage, and has a long, lingering finish.
We suggest pairing this wine with a cheese course or rack of lamb. -Randall Watkins, Winemaker

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.
