Ridge Monte Bello 2016 0.75L

Ridge Vineyards, considered one of America's First Growths, is situated high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains. Monte Bello is first and foremost a wine of place. That place – high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains underlain by decomposing limestone and Franciscan rock – produces a wine unlike any other. These low-yielding vines produce one of America's First Growths - the Monte Bello, a classic Bordeaux blend in which Cabernet Sauvignon dominates.Tasting Notes: The 2016 Ridge Monte Bello, a predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon red wine blend, is a wine of great significance, depth, complexity and aging potential. An opaque purple-ruby color in the glass. Ripe blackberry fruit, barrel spice, anise, violets, and crushed limestone. Opulent mountain fruit entry, firm acid, and fine-grain, age-worthy tannins. Powerful complexity and tremendous length to the finish. Food Match: Enjoy with red meats such as bone-in prime rib, or seared filet mignon.
