Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Okay, the best monte bello I've tasted ever. Exceptional purity, clean, not a drop of brett (hard to believe, I know) with notes of dried red/purple fruits over a background of tobacco and black truffle. Tannins are fully resolved.

Magical find at an estate sale in Az, dried blueberry, leather, maple, just singing

Paul draper can do no wrong.

My first birth year wine. Fully resolved tannins, cedar, tobacco, subtle but delicious.

Monte Bello Vertical
Bright red fruits, iron, earth, leather and tobacco with nice acid, very fresh. Groups favorite of the 80's flight
