Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points | “Blending 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot, and lovingly referred to as Baby Monte Bello, designated as Monte Bello since the 2008 vintage, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Monte Bello Vineyard is known for its weightlessness, made to be approachable in its youth with great intention. Barrel-aged for 17 months in 50-60% new oak to integrate and soften the tannins, it still has another 15-20 years of aging, if not 25.”
Winemaker Description
Saturated purple hues with aromas of black cherry, blueberry, cola, dried herbs, cedar, juniper berry and sweet oak. Medium bodied with rich textures that coat the entire palate. Flavors of red and black fruits and exotic spice with layers of gravelly and mineral notes. Long and complex finish.

Winemaker Tasting Notes
Dark purple hues with black cherry, dark plum, black olive, soy, dried jerky, lilac, dried rose petals, cedar, juniper berry, and wintergreen mint. Fresh entry with building tannins that coat the entire palate. Gravelly, dusty, and mineral notes give way to layers of red and black fruits. Integrated oak with youthful tannins and acidity. Will prove to be very age-worthy. TG
