Ridge Montebello 2009

Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, United StatesThe'09 Monte Bello a 72/22/6 is a mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. So big yet so restrained and focused and packed full of fruit. This wine is built for the long haul and will be drinking well into 2030. Montebello seemed a bit dumb and backward compared to an earlier tasting this year. We know it's built for another time. Re-taste in ten years. The blend is 72/22/6 cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Wolf Blass Master Blend Classification Montreal.Tasted: 25 November 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
