Description

2010 Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, Santa Cruz Mountains, California, USAThe just bottled 2010 Monte Bello combines pure structure and power in a rich, full bodied style for this wine. Waves of dark red fruit, crushed rocks, flowers, mint and grilled herbs wrap around the long, insistent finish. Today, the 2010 is slightly more reticent than it was last year, but the wine comes to life the more it sits in the glass. Always classy, the 2010 Monte Bello impresses for its impeccable balance.
