Montecillo Vineyard Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. By far, the best Moon Mountain Cabernet I've had over the course of 34 years and it's not even close. Power, finesse, structure, development, balance, potential. Generally not a Sonoma County Cab fan with the older, Patrick Campbell produced/overseen Laurel Glen Cabs (1985-1994) being the main exception. 08.15.25. — 4 months ago

Have you had Kamen’s Moon Mtn cabs? Those stand out as being worthy of a bottle of two. Haven’t tried this one from Dumol but generally enjoy their wines.

@Shay A I’ve got a Kamen MM on the current list but don’t remember which one exactly. Recall them both as being worthy and similar stylistically.

Medium ruby in color; dried figs, tbacco, and cedar on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like cherries, strawberry sauce, dried blueberries, and wet slate with a long finish. I really like this wine. — 6 months ago

My previous bottle of the 2014 Montecillo was enjoyed back in January of 2021. That bottle, as my previous notes indicated, exhibited quite a bit of volatile acidity. This bottle did not seem to have much VA at all. In fact, this showed well right from the moment the cork was pulled.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a game of 10 point pitch. The 2014 Montecillo pours a garnet/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous, lifted notes of cassis, black berries, leaf tobacco, Anaheim peppers, Herbs de Provence, eucalyptus and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a with spices and minerals. Really tasty and distinctive stuff. I’m in no rush to openly third and final bottle. Drink now with patience, through 2039. — 2 months ago
