Vintage Ridge Monte Bello 2015

100 point Monte Bello from Ridge? One of the worlds best wines, from a historic and iconic vintage. It is an incredibly complex and layered wine which is now, after years of ageing, really starting to open up its complexities.

The Ridge Monte Bello 2015 is dark ruby in colour with an intense and beautiful nose of cassis and blackberry aromas, barrel spice, fennel, scented juniper, and cedar. The palate is a wonderful layered journey demonstrating what a 100 point wine will give you, particularly in what was a low yielding year. In the mouth it has the typical Monte Bello richness and intensity – flavours of rich mountain fruits followed by layered complexity including flavours of violet, black olive, cassis all complemented by extra-fine silk-smooth, velvety tannins. The wine has a robust, refreshing minerality which will help it to age for up to 30 years. If you’re lucky enough to taste this wine it will not be one you’ll forget!
