Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Great wine. Distinct Ridge barrel profile. Vanilla and baking spice, tobacco...Absolutely pure fruit but definitely got the fruit ripe in a cold year. I love good 11’s, this wine is incredibly elegant with power. Really incredible balance, going to age for a long time because of the acid, ripeness and barrel. Baby Monte Bello, you cant ask for anything more in a wine for the price. One of the best values in California wine.

Aromas of cassis, blackberry, barrel spice, tobacco and dust. On the palate it's superbly balanced with layered blackberry, cassis, vanilla, and toasty oak flavors.Long finish. Well integrated sweet tannins. Essentially de-classified Monte Bello fruit. Great value! 2011 Vintage

Really cool wine. Elegant, not massive. But very ripe fruit. And lots of traditional cab flavors like olive, sourdough.

Last vintage I had was '81 and damn, it's such a pleasure to see this wine in its infancy as well.

Good stuff.

Great Cali cab blend. Dark cassis, blueberries, vanilla with cedar and spice.

Quite a bit of oak here, but in a few years time, this will sing.

Christmas dinner.
