As with all Sandler Pinot Noir wines I've had, this has a great QPR. Nice cherry notes, and drank great over 2 nights. Drinking great now, but probably no need to rush.

This is drinking very nicely now. The tannins are very well integrated and I found it to be very smooth. It paired nicely with a pot roast cooked in a pressure cooker. I don't think there's any rush to drink this up, but I may not wait too long before opening my other bottle.

My first Monte Bello, and it did not disappoint at all. Decanted 3 hours, then drank over 3 hours. Tannin definitely present at opening, and decanting definitely softened and opened it up.
Excellent wine with a long life ahead of it. Looking forward to more of this and other vintages in the future!
