Also tasted (blind): 2003 Ridge Vineyards California Mountain Merlot and 2005 Duckhorn Merlot Napa Valley Both very similar in style to the 2005 Monte Bello. | SLAKED MAY 20, 2009  2008 Monte Bello Futures Tasting The 2008 Monte Bello will (probably) be made from just cabernet sauvignon and merlot for the first time in twenty-five years.

1991 Remoissenet Pere et Fils Batard Montrachet Grand Cru - Smells of wood and banana, some barnyard elements. 1995 Stags Leap Merlot, Napa Valley - Opulent nose of plums and spices. This is a decadent wine, a very classy merlot. And what of the white wines? was not so impressed, though, overall. Almondy marzipan palate. MORE >>
