While the Reserve gets most of the attention
Distinctly cooler on the nose than the San Lorenzo di Verduna
Finishes spicy
focused and stony middleweight flavors that brim with dry extract thanks to the old vines
Built around the 2009 vintage
Arnot Roberts, Montecillo Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy While the Reserve gets mostThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a headspinning wine. Rich, dense and explosive, the 2019 captures all the pedigree of this great site. Readers will find a towering, statuesque Cabernet of the highest level. Graphite, leather, dried herbs, menthol and licorice play off a core of intense, dark fruit. Potent, muscular tannins need time to soften, but, wow, what a wine. Best of all, the Montecillo is one of the most insane values
