RIDGE VINEYARDS 'Monte Bello' 2009

The 2009 Ridge Monte Bello is a world-class wine of epic proportions. It delivers top quality pure black fruits, cassis, pencil shavings, graphite, charcoal, coffee and even fresh floral. This wine has it all, balance, amazing precision and focus, depth, along with a seamless structure and an ultra-long, tight gripping finish. While still in its infancy, it is hard to find many flaws in the wine right now. It's not everyday you come across a wine of this caliber, and while you can get away with this approaching now, it should also continue to evolve for a quarter century for those willing to wait. The composition consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. (Best 2013-2032). - September, 2012 (JD)
