"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a wine of notable breadth and power. Soil, scorched earth, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense infuse this virile Sonoma Cabernet with tremendous intensity. Here, too, readers have to be patient as the Montecillo is an old-school, classically built Cabernet that absolutely demands cellaring."

Winemaker Notes:

"44 year old vines planted at 1700 ft on the ridgeline that divides Napa and Sonoma Counties, high above the town of Kenwood. This healthy, old, dry-farmed site is one of the most spectacular cabernet plantings that we have seen anywhere in the world."

Alcohol: 13.5%
