2017 Bedrock Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard Old Vine is a real powerhouse that will need a bit of time to reveal the breadth of its personality. Today, it comes across as monolithic, though there is plenty of depth to the dark fruit, spice, leather and chocolate flavors. If anything, my impression is that the Montecillo needs longer time in barrel. The reality is that most top-flight 2017 California Cabernets have not been bottled yet.
