Ridge Monte Bello component tasting (and a Meursault!) (Ridge Vineyards, Santa Cruz, CA): Very strange watery honey aroma - seems like botrytis!
Weird thin watery honey on the palate.
m body, m alcohol (12.3%), elevated acid, very soft.
It’s very developed, and not oxidized, but it doesn’t really show much character beyond the sweet honeyed note. “bottle sweetness” ?
