RIDGE VINEYARDS SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS MONTE BELLO 2015

Stunning depth, power, purity and elegance. The blackcurrant and plum are fresh and intense on the nose, with blueberry and gentle herbal notes too. The palate has a keenly articulated array of vibrant tannins that holds long, fresh and pure. It invokes a sense of wonderment at the finish. So long and so pure. This blend of 77 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 11 per cent merlot, 7 per cent petit verdot and 5 per cent cabernet franc is just at the start of a wonderful journey. Try from 2021. 100 points
