In the January 2015 issue of California Grapevine, three of our wines receive 91 point scores.
Ridge 2011 Monte Bello – “Medium-dark ruby; fragrant, herbal, spicy, dark cherry and blackberry fruit aroma with earthy and mineral notes, and hints of roasted coffee and vanilla; full body; tight, cedary, dark fruit flavors with sharp acidity; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Developed with airing, though needing another five years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended.” (Group Score: 16.3, 0/0/0; My Score: 17 [91/100], eighth place)
