Description
TASTING NOTE: The 2009 Monte Bello bursts from the glass with an exciting array of radiant fruit. It is a striking wine endowed with superb purity, dazzling finesse and breathtaking textural elegance. Despite the expressiveness of the fruit, there appears to be more than enough underlying structure for the wine to develop beautifully for decades. In 2009 the blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot .... Draper says the 2009 is the greatest wine he's ever made .... Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. Score: 95+ (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2011)
Tasting Notes
The just-bottled 2010 Monte Bello combines pure structure and power in a rich, full-bodied style for this wine. Waves of dark red fruit, crushed rocks, flowers, mint and grilled herbs wrap around the long, insistent finish. Today, the 2010 is slightly more reticent than it was last year, but the wine comes to life the more it sits in the glass. Always classy, the 2010 Monte Bello impresses for its impeccable balance. Count me among those who will be thrilled to own this magnificent California classic. The 2010 is a decidedly virile, powerful Monte Bello, qualities winemaker Eric Baugher attributes to a year with a very cold summer and periods of heat that arrived only towards the tail end of the growing season. In 2010, the blend is 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. Score - 96+. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2012)
