    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Sitting at 1800 ft on Sonoma’s Moon Mountain, this is the highest site in Massimo’s portfolio. Planted in the late 1960s, now farmed by legendary Chuy Ordaz, it is always the first of Massimo’s sites to ripen, sitting as it does above the fog line, exposed to the full evening sun. This combination produces a wonderful contrast between aromatic splendour, intensity and depth, with crystalline fruit, extreme precision, and almost exotic berries married to great depths of stony minerality, graphite and a mouthwatering salinity. Superb.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard exists in a totally different realm; one of true and profound beauty. Explosive in its aromatic presence and deep on the palate, the 2019 is shaping up to be a magnificent wine. Quite simply, it represents everything Sonoma County Cabernet is, and everything it can be. What a wine. Gravel, incense, tobacco, menthol, blackberry and espresso build into the huge, dramatic finish. This is one of the great, great wines of California.
