So dark! Deep black raspberry aromas ring out. Dark velvety sexy smoothness on palate.

Quality and style of a six figure Napa Cult Beast. Word class old vine Petit Verdot. Worthy of the Monte Bello name! — 8 years ago

2009 tasted 2014: dark purple all the way to the rim, like a young wine. Rich blueberry nose with lovely lilac violet notes, and spicy anise oak. Velvety smooth tannins evenly coat the palate from soft entry to lingering ripe fruit finish. Wonderful. — 9 years ago

I might be the only dumb ass on the planet that views this wine as surreal. This wine from three year old vines on grimms ranch is absolutely gorgeous.... Only three year old vines but holy shit good. Almost raveneau like with creamy aromatics. I remember using this wine when we put it in a ceramic egg and let it sit on its Lee's for six months. Mineral driven goodness. — 8 years ago

Raspberry, blueberry tart, eucalyptus, black pepper. Super fruity on the nose and palate but finishes nice and dry with a good balance of tannins and acidity. Thank you Tom for the great wine!! — 10 years ago
