during its Sunset Music Series. He let me in on a few big
changes coming to their tasting room and a new varietal
being added to the estate’s portfolio. Jason invited me to
try some of his winery’s full-bodied reds. The 2006 Monte
Bello Road Cabernet Sauvignon stood out in particular for
its profile, which was reminiscent of an old world Bordeaux,
yet with a distinct California style.
The evening was a success, bringing winemakers and
aficionados together to celebrate the spectacular wine of
the Santa Clara Valley AVA. The wines showcased at t his
event are clear examples of SCV as an exciting oenophile
destination. Along with a number of other attendees, I left
the event impressed and quite ticketless.
The sun was setting as I exited the center
and I found myself reflecting on our
valley; its rolling hillsides, the eclectic
vineyards, and the larger-than-life
personalities that bring it all to life.
Those little paragraphs in the reference
books don’t do justice to our region.
One doesn’t need to drive hours to
Sonoma or to Paso Robles.
Wine country is right her, at home.
