From the producers website:
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc
Vintage Notes:
A third year of drought accompanied by a heat wave during ripening, reduced yields. To manage tannins, all grapes were fermented as whole berries, pressed once dry, and transferred to American oak for natural malolactic. Eighteen of thirty-one lots were selected by blind tasting and, after assemblage, spent an additional twenty months in barrel. This classic Monte Bello will evolve over the next twenty to twenty-five years. JO (10/24)
Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Saturated ruby color. Intense aromas of blackberry, black currant, fennel, dry chaparral, tobacco leaf, crushed stone, and toasted oak. On the palate, rich mountain bramble and cassis, polished tannins, and full bodied. Natural firm acidity leads to a long finish showing limestone minerality. JO (11/24)
