Review Date: 07/2025The 2022 Montecillo has a light wild edge that adds a good level of character to the wine, with minty wild herbs, lavender perfume, pine needles, and cassis. Full-bodied, it’s quite a jump above the other Far Mountain wines in this vintage and was the highlight of this tasting. It’s gorgeously built, with velvety richness covering its more mountainous earth notes, and it has fantastic evenness and freshness, with a great sense of place. I highly recommend that readers check out this wine. Drink 2025-2050."

Beautiful forest aromas beguile from the Far Mountain Montecillo Cabernet, perched nearly 2,000 ft (600m) along the ridge that divides the Napa and Sonoma appellations. Bergamot and fir tips, wild blue alpine berries, a touch of forest floor, and a bassline of gorgeous sweet violets. The palate is subtle and beautifully integrated. Sweet huckleberries, pine sap, mint leaves, and a dash of wild alpine herbs. This is a Cabernet of place, refinement and elegance. (CP)

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a new wine in this range. The pedigree here is immediately, unmistakably present. Complex and dynamic in the glass, with tons of nuance, the 2022 impresses with its layers of complexity, one of the biggest things that is missing from so many wines in this vintage. Crushed flowers, chalk, mint, orange peel and red-toned fruit all open in the glass. The Montecillo is perhaps on the lighter side for this site, and yet its beauty is impossible to miss. (AG)
