Community Tasting Note

William Kelley Likes this wine:

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - While some of the Cabernet Sauvignons from this warm, high-yield vintage are beginning to get a little long in the tooth, the 1997 Monte Bello continues to show beautifully, with an expressive bouquet of cassis, dried cherry, menthol, a touch of soil and a generous framing of American oak. On the palate the wine is supple and nicely balanced, with largely melted tannins and a generous, open-knit personality, tied together by a bright thread of acidity. 12.9%
