Ridge Vineyards
40th Anniversary Vintage Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon Blend


Rookie mistake to drink this beauty right after the SQN…but the error of a hedonist, to be sure. This was devoured before it could warm up from cellar but just wow. Iconic. Luscious.

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.

May 7th, 2018My favourite for the night. Full-bodied with big bouquet of berries, earthy smokiness and some spice. Well structured with fresh black fruits and some minerality. Nice firm tannins giving it a long finish.
