Aged for 23 months in French oak (30% new). Archetypal New California Cab. Pale ruby. Lovely aromatic, lifted stuff. Very pure and almost Cabernet Franc-like. So unlike the archetypal California Cab! Extremely pure and transparent even if perhaps too light for some tastes. More fruit to this than the 2013. (JR)

Graphite, smoke, crushed rocks and black cherry/plum notes make a strong first impression in the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard. Powerful and structured, with beams of supporting mountain tannin, the 2014 is wonderfully complete. This is a fabulous wine from one of Sonoma's top vineyard sites.
