95 Points
The 2016 Chardonnay Monte Bello is a powerful wine. Rich, deep and layered, the 2016 offers a striking melange of varietal fruit and structure. Tangerine, mint, butter and toasty notes all develop in the glass. More than anything, though, the 2017 is a wine of texture and resonance. I loved it. Drink 2021-2031. Antonio Galloni Oct 2019

Powerful and rich-tasting, with well-structured baked pear, apple and white currant flavors, filled with intense smoky and oak accents. Flinty notes emerge on the vibrant finish. Drink now through 2024. 425 cases made. KM Jun 15, 2019
