Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Lean.

Bordeaux like & youthful showing dark berry fruit, earth, leather & tobacco

This wine is insane. Immaculate. Inspiring. There's some earth there now. But it's all soft and velvety. Nice dark fruit that's not overripe- it's actually still pretty lively underneath a velvety mouthfeel. Tannins are totally integrated, so the mouth-pucker effect is gone. Just straight velvet with a nice structured core. Unbelievable that this wine is still so vibrant. I'm so impressed. Paul Draper is King.

Absolutely delicious - didn't even have to wait! 1976! Thanks Chris and Janet❤️

Thanks to everyone for an amazing night! #thisis40

With Ross and Amy Kari on Wednesday. These old Montebellos never disappoint! High shoulder fill but no dryness or oxidation -- seemed much younger!
