The Medlock Ames 2018 Bell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon shows off the potential of this organically farmed hillside. Opulent but not overwrought, this is a wine that reveals each layer slowly as it opens up in the glass. We recommend decanting to bring out a bit more of the earth and to allow those fine grained tannins to soften. 94 pts James Suckling
Chris Medlock James and Ames Morison, college best friends who left the hustle of New York City for the rolling hills of eastern Sonoma County, knew what they wanted from the beginning. Driving around Chalk Hill Road, their vision was realized at Bell Mountain Ranch. Ames is the winemaking force here, reaching for hillside Cabernet Sauvignon (and other Bordeaux varieties) that exude power without excess. These are delicious wines that can be enjoyed young or with a few years of bottle age on them!
