Monte de Oro

Monte de Oro operates in California's South Coast region, where warm days and maritime influence shape wines of depth and structure. The winery focuses on Bordeaux and Rhône varieties, with particular attention to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Vigna Vicini Reserve, a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, represents the winery's top expression, earning a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast. The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Reserve Petite Sirah—both rated 90 points by the same critic—demonstrate the winery's command of bold red varietals. These wines reflect the South Coast's capacity for ripe, structured fruit within a Mediterranean climate.
