It pays to check when Villa del Monte’s spot in the Santa Cruz Mountains is open for tasting—so you can avail yourself of their delectable wines. But you can always buy online—it’s pretty easy to order a few bottles and try them out. If Villa del Monte is new to you, then all the more reason to try their varied creations.
Villa del Monte’s winemakers, John Overstreet and Neil Perrelli, make quite a few different wines—everything from Cabernet Rosé and Chardonnay to Malbec and Pinot Noir, and their own Vintner’s Select Special Blend, a hearty mix of Merlot and Cabernet “with a bit of Malbec and Syrah to finish it off.” And if you love dessert wines, check out VDM’s delicious 100% Zinfandel. Grapes are left on the vine to naturally raise the sugar, resulting in a lip-smacking mouthful of sweet wine.
Right now, VDM has some wines on sale. The 2010 single-varietal, single-vineyard 100% Merlot Reserve from the Moon Vineyard in the Carneros District of Napa Valley is a mere $10—too good to miss! Hints of blackberry, cherry and blueberry enhance this smooth Merlot—and a great fruit nose and sultry aromas add to its charm.
Villa del Monte’s next wine tastings are noon to 5pm, Aug. 29-30. Visit their website for more info and Covid-19 protocol. Reservations are recommended.
