Marked acidity

This has aged really well

(from 50+ year old vines vinified with 40% stems)

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a headspinning wine

this splendid wine promises to get even better over the next 4-6 years and possibly last through the first decade of the next century

Hermitage other_regions_italy Marked acidityBright medium ruby. Cool, perfumed aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and mint. Intensely flavored, concentrated and firmly built, with bright acids lifting the berry, violet and licorice flavors. Quite youthfully unevolved but already displays impressive inner mouth perfume. Finishes with firm tannic spine. Stephen Tanzer
