1992 Ridge Monte Bello
Community Tasting Note
MC2 Wines Likes this wine:
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - Our first Ridge (courtesy of Grapes, White Plains) (Landmarc): Definitely definitely WOTN. My first experience with a Monte Bello and my first reaction is 'wow - this is really young' and then I realized it's a 24 year old wine. From a drought year and aging well. Pretty impressive. Could definitely go for another 10 and maybe even 20 years. Clean cherry flavor, some spice. More time and I'm also getting mint and eucalyptus. On the nose there's hints of alcohol, but it doesn't come out on the palette at all. Very nice wine.
