Ridge Monte Bello 2006

Vintage:

2006

Ratings:

94 points by Wine Advocate

Acclaim:

Situated high atop the cool Santa Cruz Mountains, the Monte Bello estate excels in producing Bordeaux varietals from low-yielding vines. The Monte Bello is a famous and prestigious wine in California and worldwide, and is considered to be on of California's finest blends.

Tasting Notes:

On the quiet side of intense, this vintage of Monte Bello is austere, delivering its fruit like a cool rain of berries. Firm, mineral-driven dark fruit flavors give way to a complex mix of ripe mountain bramble, cassis, dark chocolate, licorice, and exotic spice. The wine is full-bodied, with elegant silky tannins, sensuous balance, and integrated oak.

Blend:

68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Cellaring:

Balanced and supple now, this exceptional vintage has the structure to carry it for 25 years or more.
