Villa del Monte 2009 Villa Festa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  1. $30
Forward in blackberry and cherry fruit, with a strong oak overlay, this is a flashy Cabernet. Flavor is what it’s all about, at the expense of complexity. Drink now.  — S.H.  (8/1/2011)

Villa del Monte 2009 Reserve Moon Vineyard Merlot (Carneros)

  1. $33
With an amazing alcohol level of 16.6%, this Merlot is as hot as a chile pepper. But the flavors are enormously rich and flamboyant, suggesting ripe cherry and raspberry jam. Ready now.  — S.H.  (8/1/2011)

Villa del Monte 2009 Regan Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
This wine is fundamentally sound, but excessively sweet and extracted in cherry and prune juice flavors. It feels flabby and cloying, although the acidity is fine. Not going anywhere.  — S.H.  (8/1/2011)
