9.0

The aroma from this wine fills the room! However, as delicious and complex as the flavors are, in total it feels subtle and subdued; a couple years past prime. A beautiful acidity remains present from front to back, and makes the wine exceptionally food friendly — 3 years ago

Delicious dark sour cherries, crushed violets, and licorice with something almost animalistic on the nose. Silky tannins and sumptuous finish. — 3 years ago

Tobacco, leather, and perfectly ripe blackberries invade both nose and mouth with a tinge of black licorice resting underneath. Medium acidity, medium+finish, and boldness of flavor all point to a wine that while beautiful now, will only get better with another 5 years. — 3 years ago

9.6

Crisp yet heavy with flavors of caramelized apple and marzipan. The acidity is sharp, pertinent, and maintains through an exceptionally long finish. This is not even at its peak. Can’t wait to try again in another 10 years — 3 years ago

9.4

Absolutely incredible. Massive nose of spice. Bold flavors of red fruit and pink peppercorn. Medium acidity and a long dry yet somehow juicy finish. This wine is a knockout now, and will continue to grow for many years. — 3 years ago

Fully matured red fruits both on the nose and the palate. A sumptuously long finish boasts balsamic flavors with a tinge of peppercorn spice. — 3 years ago

9.2

Deep ruby in color. A nose of rich cassis and tobacco, and a mouth that matches with jammy dark fruits (cassis, boysenberry) and toasty oak. Medium tannins and acidity. A heavy mouthfeel gives the wine an almost sticky quality, with the fruit flavors lasting through a generous finish. — 3 years ago

9.1

A floral nose and fruity palate that displays both poise and strength. The finish is generous with flavors of almond, dried apricot, and candied ginger. — 3 years ago

9.3

Out in the middle of no-where California, lies the Monte Bello vineyard from Ridge. The ‘07 vintage boasts a strong nose of violets and wet stone that precedes unctuous flavors of cassis and blackberry. The finish is long and speckled with mineral. — 3 years ago
