Community Tasting Note

97 Points

Tuesday, October 18, 2016 - Tasted at the Monte Bello Vineyard.

This is one of the top five cabs in California. Wine will only get better with time but is completely in balance now. Smells like toasted almonds, violets, dark fruits and herbs.

Tannins are perfectly round and the wine has a great acidity.

Not any kind of "bomb." Just an exceptionally well balanced wine with great aromatics and a lovely finish that will appeal to those whose tastes run more Beethoven than Wagner.
