    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Explosively and almost exotically aromatic, Montecillo is produced in minute quantities from a vineyard situated at over 1500 ft on Sonoma’s Moon Mountain. As the nose unfurls, cracked coriander seed, iron rich stones, dried flowers, cassis, gravel all emerge, with a deeper note of dried beef below. The dried flower notes reappear on the palate alongside a a seam of minerality, then red fruits, anise, orange, rosemary and sage. There’s so much going on here in this mid weight, transparent and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon – it’s like little else.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a heroic, explosive wine that captures all the best qualities this Moon Mountain site has to offer. That's the good news. The bad news is that there are just 1,500 bottles to go around. Iron, smoke, incense, wild cherry, tobacco, licorice and wild cherry soar out of the glass. The 2019 is a total knock-out. don't miss it.
