Our Ridge 2012 Monte Bello was awarded 94 points in the 29 February 2016 issue of Wine Spectator magazine (on newsstands now). Here are the tasting notes:
“A beautifully structured wine, with firm acidity and tannins that show grip and grit amid a core of dense, tense currant and blackberry fruit, turning juicy. Those seeking classic old-school Cabernet will embrace this. Cellaring for five to seven years is the right approach. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2020 through 2035.” –JL
