Received a bottle of Corley Family Monticello Cab from a friend for Christmas. This label is from the 2008 but we actually drank the 2009 over the holidays. It was a very good every day wine.
I was not familiar with this winery so it was great to discover something new! I was surprised to find such a smooth wine given the age. Here are the tasting notes from the winemaker:
This wine has nice dark notes on the nose and palate. The aromas start with nice smoky berry aromas and open up further with coffee and dark chocolate. On the palate the wine is big and full bodied yet it displays a wonderful level of balance and elegance. The tannins are nicely refined and frame the wines generous mid-palate very well. The finish is medium long and has nice lingering effect.
Drink Now through 2022.
