"The 2019 Monte Bello is a wild, exotic wine. Huge, soaring aromatics meld into a core of heady, exotically ripe fruit. Not a shy wine by any means, the 2019 is atypically opulent, and yet all of the classic Monte Bello structure is there, underneath all of that fruit...Inky, red fruit, blood orange, expresso, sweet American oak, cedar and pipe tobacco leave a lasting impression. In a word: magnificent!" -Vinous
