Monte De Oro 2006 Synergy 65, Estate Grown Red (Temecula Valley)

  1. $33
A structured proprietary red blend from Temecula Valley. The tannins remain a tad chewy, leathery even, though the wine’s got some hints of fig, cherry and cinnamon that keep it interesting.  — V.B.  (7/1/2011)

Monte De Oro 2006 Vista Del Monte Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula Valley)

  1. $65
A pure Cabernet aged in 100% new French oak with soft tannins, rich textures and inviting aromas of herbs, flowers and mushrooms. Worth checking out if you’re interested in what Temecula Valley can do.  — V.B.  (8/1/2011)

Monte De Oro 2006 Reserve, Vista del Monte Vineyard Syrah (Temecula Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $70
A big burly Syrah from this Temecula producer whose goal it is to become the premier winery of Southern California, the wine is loaded with plummy black fruit and a peppery mouthfeel, its oakiness derived from the almost three years it spent barrel-aging in new French oak. Not for the meek at 15.6% alcohol, it finishes a tad sweet.  — V.B.  (7/1/2011)

Monte De Oro 2007 Estate Grown Vista Del Mar Vineyard Syrah (Temecula Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $34
Estate grown in Temecula, this is a huge Syrah at 15.5% alcohol with all that implies—lots of deep, dark plum, heavyweight tannins and bittersweet chocolate. Might it mellow? Only time will tell.  — V.B.  (7/1/2011)
