2024 Monte Bello, Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountains
A unmistakably classic Monte Bello showing all the signatures of this top tier estate: intensity, depth and nuance. The aromatics are vivid, violet-tinged with accents of spice. The palate has superb definition with a core of ripe, supple bramble fruit. A wine of remarkable purity and intensity, this will no doubt become a future classic.
