John Mark Avant-Courier
Winemaker's Cuvée
Born from the tradition of artful blending in Bordeaux, the John Mark Avant-Courier puts hand-picked batches of world-class fruit into the bottle. What’s a cuvée? A cuvée is a labor of love. It goes one step further than picking from specific parcels of land by picking from specific barrels. In every vintage individual components are kept apart and blended purely on taste. The result is magnificent. This wine is serious with dark fruits, spices, and minerals blending together to mouthwateringly complex results. Notes of blueberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant fade into baking spice and anise with a hint of minerality. This is a beautiful wine just waiting to be savored.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Sonoma County](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1852/normal/California_Sonoma_County.png?1616011086)
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
