I think the winemaker in those days at SanMartin was Ed Freidrichs??
Ahhh...the Montinico..... that was, in fact, an Angelica, made from Mission grapes, and had a fair amount of old reserves in it. One of the better Calif Angelicsa that used to be around.

But those Angelicas were wines that could aged forever. I've had 2-3 Angelicas (old in glass carboy, not old in btl) way back then that were amazing...truly amazing.
There is a lady down in the SantaRitaHills who has an extremely old Mission vnyd she brought back from the dead who's making new Angelica, under the Gypsy Canyon, name's Deborah Hall. Pretty expensive, though.
