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 — 2 years ago

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. — 2 years ago

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. — 2 years ago

Delicious dark sour cherries, crushed violets, and licorice with something almost animalistic on the nose. Silky tannins and sumptuous finish. — 2 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. — 2 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. — 2 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. — 2 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. — 2 years ago
