Josh Raynolds, November 2010, Score: 94
Opaque ruby. A complex, heady bouquet displays red- and blackcurrant, pipe tobacco, cigar box and rose oil, with suave spiciness gaining strength in the glass. Sappy and sweet, with mineral-laced red and dark berry preserve and cherry-vanilla flavors complemented by smoke and floral pastille qualities. The finish shows sweetness as well as tanginess and leaves a gentle smoky quality behind. Quite open-knit for Monte Bello but there's a core of minerality and sneaky acidity here that bodes well for aging. This was aged in 100% new oak, 96% of it American.

Jancis Robinson, March 2010, Score: 18
Deeper crimson than the Santa Cruz Mountains Estate 2007 bottling. Savoury, intense, sumptuous. Hint of dark, unsweetened chocolate. Burnished leather on the nose. Still very tightly laced on the finish. This wine should be put away for ages, however attractive it may already be on the nose. Very ambitious and long term with very fine tannins in abundance.
