95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Chardonnay Monte Bello emerges from the glass with layers of rich, varietal fruit supported by firm minerality and just a touch of French oak. The Monte Bello spends an additional three months in neutral oak and therefore also sees more stirring of the lees, yet it remains fresh, vibrant and beautifully focused all the way through to the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018...I think the wines Draper is making today will prove to be far superior to the wines of decades past, many of which are rightly considered legendary." (08/11) 93 points Wine Spectator: "Offers a full-bodied mix of ripe fig, honeydew melon, spice and dried apricot flavors, taking on a slight honeyed note and expanding on the finish, yet retaining a pleasant measure of restraint and finesse. Drink now through 2018." (12/11) 93 points Stephen Tanzer's IWC: "Bright yellow. Pungent aromas of pear and peach nectar, with complicating notes of smoky lees and lemon pith. Mineral-accented pit and orchard fruit flavors shows impressive depth and clarity, picking up spiciness and a touch of bitter quinine on the back half. Rich but balanced and fresh, finishing with excellent clarity and persistent spiciness." (Nov/Oct 11)
