Wines
| Wine | Type | Vintage | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Monticello Cabernet Franc 2021 On the nose, this wine has dark berry fruit, hints of spice and light toasted oak, and vanilla tones. On the palate the wine is very well balanced with depth on the midpalate but also nuance and finesse on the finish. | 🍷Cabernet Franc | 2021 | $70 | |
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019 This is a deeply extracted, rich and robust wine. I find this wine bursting with black cherry and blackberry aromas, with hints of cocoa and coffee. | 🍷Cabernet Sauvignon | 2019 | $120 | |
Cabernet Sauvignon Tietjen Vineyard 2019 This wine is offering fantastic primary aromas of rich, ripe redberry fruit. I find undertones of sweet vanillin oak and hints of caramel. | 🍷Cabernet Sauvignon | 2019 | ||
Monticello Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 This wine has ripe berry fruit and spice aromas, followed by dark cherry, mocha and coffee tones on the nose. On the palate the wine has a powerful and expansive entry. | 🍷Cabernet Sauvignon | 2021 | $60 | |
Monticello Pinot Noir 2021 This is an elegant example of the diversity of our Monticello Vineyard in Oak Knoll District. The aromas are subtle but dynamic, offering strawberry, cola, cinnamon and hints of vanilla on the nose. On the palate, the wine is very well balanced, displaying a soft, velvety texture with a vibrant beam of acidity which provides a wonderful structure for such an elegantly framed wine. | 🍷Pinot Noir | 2021 | $55 | |
Red Wine Proprietary 2019 This wine displays expressive aromas of dark black and blue berries, cassis, mocha and hints of sweet toasted vanilla oak and spice tones. | 🍷Red Blend | 2019 | $80 |
