Spotlight, Milagro Farm

Milagro Farm Vineyards & Winery

Milagro Farm Vineyards & Winery is a San Diego winery in Ramona that’s getting some attention–partly for its winemaker, Jim Hart who is Joe Hart of Hart Winery in Temecula’s son, and also partly for its wine. The winery is located in the new appellation of Ramona and the ’07 Cabernet Sauvignon is a good example of what a winemaker coming from a winemaking family can do for and up-and-coming wine region. Look for the ’07 Cabernet Sauvignon (multiple silver medal winner) at local Costco’s and some Albertsons. Tasting notes for the wine include aromas of black cherries, black currants, and vanilla–all nicely balanced with oak. Retails for about $22.
