Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 2015

Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. 

"One of the highlights in this tasting, the 2015 Monte Bello will soon take its place among the greatest Monte Bellos ever made. Powerful, deep and explosive, the 2015 possesses magnificent concentration and richness in every dimension. Even with all of its raciness, the 2015 has terrific aromatic presence and regal tannins. The 2015 is a bit less showy than it has been in the past, but it was also just bottled two weeks before this tasting. Readers who own it will be absolutely thrilled." - Antonio Galloni, 98 pts
