Loving the complexity and lots of flavors. Brick red in color, pretty vibrant still. Strong aromas. Like leather and black fruit. Medium high tannin. Medium acidity. Medium body. Tastes like a bit of leather or smoke but good fruit to balance that out. Medium long finish. I’m not a huge fan of the leather smoke notes but appreciate it for what it is and enjoying the complexity of flavors! I personally have to be in mood for this one but it’s a good one! — 10 days ago

Lovely Bordeaux. We had 2011 in 2020, and were worried about dumb phase, but not a big vintage, so we chanced it. So glad we drank now.. gorgeous nose, full, velvety on the tongue, fruit but not huge, elegant, but not hiding, supple yet subtle. Really, really enjoyed this wine. — 2 days ago

53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 5% petit Verdot. Decanted for 2.5 hours. Earthy, graphite, hints of vanilla, cocoa, and a a good amount of herbaceousness. Springy and fresh acidity. Very tannic, lingers on the palate. Well structured. Absolutely delicious. — 8 days ago

Happy Halloween & Dios de los Muertos!

50% Petite Sirah, 30% Mission, 20% Zinfandel, 12.5% ABV

Great Organic & Natty wine, good fruit, slightest of cement on the nose, spice from the barrel yeast tannin etc, and super fresh (2019 with 10 months in barrel leaves less than two months for crush, distribution, and pickup time!)

100% whole cluster Carbonic Maceration for 6-10 days in stainless steel. Pressed into a mix of concrete and stainless steel for 8-12 days. No sulfur used in the winemaking. Aged 10 months in old wood barrels

Highly recommend this wine and exploring the single varietal bottlings of Mission, Zinfandel, and other offerings from Monte Rio Cellars! — a month ago
