"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard Old Vine is a real powerhouse that will need a bit of time to reveal the breadth of its personality. Today, it comes across as monolithic, though there is plenty of depth to the dark fruit, spice, leather and chocolate flavors. If anything, my impression is that the Montecillo needs longer time in barrel. The reality is that most top-flight 2017 California Cabernets have not been bottled yet."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
