Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com “The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard exists in a totally different realm; one of true and profound beauty. Explosive in its aromatic presence and deep on the palate, the 2021 is shaping up to be a magnificent wine. Quite simply, it represents everything Sonoma County Cabernet is, and everything it can be. What a wine. Gravel, incense, tobacco, menthol, blackberry, and espresso build into the huge, dramatic finish. This is one of the great, great wines of California.” 95-97 points
