#6 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Cellar Selections 2022
98-Points by Antonio Galloni.
During blind tastings of the 2019 Monte Bello, a record forty-one separate lots were assembled to create this vintage. This painstaking process is just one of the reasons why this wine is so iconic. Rich and smoky on the nose, this famed estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of roasted plum, mesquite, sandalwood and frankincense on the nose. Impressively polished tannins consume the palate, where roasted berry, black plum and toasted coffee flavors linger long. Drink now–2039
