Really young. Love it. Pure red fruit, low alcohol, distinct Ridge oak profile. 1903 Torre family homesteads the middle portion of what is now Monte Bello. Planted and built a winery, abandoned in 1920 (prohibition) successive sales led to Ridge in 1959. Original merlot block planted in 68, this is a single block planted late 80's. longer it was open the better it got

Love how this has started to open up and drink really well right now. Beautiful tea-like tannins, dark plum and clove spice on the palate. Mmmmmm.

Full yet light with nutty hints and olive favors with a slight chalkiness that allows the flavors to marinate on your tongue. The finish is very warm and comforting - like sitting in a cabin in the mountains of Italy.
