Far Mountain Montecillo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Review
To Far Mountain’s founders Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto, the Montecillo Vineyard, overlooking the valley of the Moon Mountain District, is a “Grand Cru” location. We absolutely agree — this wine stuns with deep notes of blackberries, blueberries, cured tobacco leaf, and clove. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and filled with a deep core of fruit, lifted to airy heights by the wonderful natural acidity. This wine may be young, but it’s thriving right now. We can only imagine what it will be like in a few years.
