TN: New Releases from Ridge Vineyards

[AD_Northup]

These phrases on Monte Bello truly define what it is, so accurately:

The classic iron fist in a velvet glove. Black currants, blueberries, truffles and tobacco on the palate. The finish is long and seamless with ever so silky tannins. Thrilling wine that threads the needle between old and new world.

Well stated.

Too bad I didn’t increase my allocation on Monte Bello futures in the 2017 vintage, rather than 2019, as I’m hearing from ALL sources how the 2017 is one of their best in recent memory. William Kelley has the right idea, to be sure.

Same…loaded up on some Klein hoping it’s at least a shade of the flagship…
