Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985

Tried the '90 recently, spoke of how amazing a producer of Californian Cabernet it is, but just needed a little more time, this '85 is well & truly on point, everything is in balance, there's fruit intensity yes, but the development/complexity/layers are really shining through, outstanding stuff. — 9 years ago

Il Marroneto

Madonna delle Grazie Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2001

2001, Madonna delle Grazie Il Marroneto Sangiovese. A Brunello with 14 years of aging, doesn't get much better. Still has primary black fruit but layers of secondary flavors. It continues to open up and get more complex through the evening. — 11 years ago

Sicilia Il Frappato 2010

Large format, 15 years old…showing a little signs of age, but still spritely enough. A few years ago, this would’ve been in its prime — 8 months ago

Il Nero di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020

8.9

The winery’s entry level Sangiovese bottling. Aged 15 months in second-use French oak for 2020 vintage, it delivers a darker-fruited profile while preserving Sangiovese’s classic character. A versatile, crowd-pleasing choice and pairs especially well Northern Italian pasta dishes. — 10 months ago
