Sunday, March 18, 2012 - Occupy Spoof comes to town. (Joe's.): (72% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 2% cabernet franc, 1% petit verdot, 13.0% alc.) Tasted from magnum.
Surprisingly silky on the palate, especially since it's from a magnum, with sweet black currant, purple plums, cocoa and cedary oak. The fruit is still primary and the oak needs to integrate further, but if you prefer your Monte Bello a little bit more fruit forward, it's drinking quite nicely now. I'd rather wait for some more development, though. Low A-
