Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
2010. Had this in a blind tasting, it was surprisingly fruit-forward and approachable.

May 26th, 2015Wonderfully balanced with an appealing cassis, blackberry, loam, cedarwood character. Very persistent on the palate. Long finish. From magnum. Young approachable now, but would love to revisit in 5 years! 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc; 13% alcohol

Dec 21st, 2014Decant for 6 hours. Luscious, fresh and long lived. Next one open in about 6 years.

Dec 7th, 2014Built to last, this infant had everything placed correctly; loads of sweet tannins, juicy acidity and fruit for balance. Very clever oak handling let the chalky minerality shine on the lengthy finish. Best from 2020.
