2022 DuMOL 'Montecillo Vineyard' Moon Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon

Mountain power, refined to a blade. Sourced from the historic, dry-farmed Montecillo Vineyard high on Moon Mountain, this Cabernet marries dark fruit intensity with volcanic, ferrous mineral drive. DuMOL’s precision elevage emphasizes purity and tension, shaping fine, persistent tannins and a long, focused finish that speaks clearly of this high-elevation site.

Nose — Blackcurrant, black cherry, and blueberry weave with violet, cedar, graphite, and a touch of tobacco and bay leaf; lifted and vivid.

Palate — Full and poised; cassis and blackberry ride savory herb, cocoa, and crushed-stone tones over firm, enveloping mountain tannins.

Finish — Long, mineral, and refined, echoing dark fruit, espresso, and iron-tinged spice with cool, stony persistence.

Ribeye with rosemary butter excels. Braised short ribs feel tailor-made. Try grilled lamb, porcini-rich risotto, or aged Comté to complement the wine’s structure.
