Community Tasting Note

Of the three Monsanto's, this was the "biggest" wine, and all three tasters had it as their favorite in the trio. Earthy red and black fruit on the nose. Expansive on the palate - this really spreads out and covers every nook and cranny of your taste buds.
Ultimately, I don't think this will have the longevity of the 2016, but for today, it is providing one hell of a lot of wine sensory pleasure.
