2012 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains

2012 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains

Darkly concentrated on the nose, with enticing notes of black fruits, wood smoke and soft, peppery spice. The palate is dense, with a glossy, fruit-compote core enswathed in layers of velvety tannins, crushed minerals, clove spice and tobacco leaf. This is without doubt a powerful wine, but with that power held firmly in check by the finely-tuned structure, giving the wine a sense of poise and subtlety that belies its ability to age extremely well.
