I was plenty satisfied with this "baby montebello", a few years away from ideal drinking window — 8 years ago

Really herbal with lemon pith and baking spice notes. Quite a bit of dairy comes up on the finish. Nice acidity. Love the way it has progressed. Very interesting! #chardonyesway #ridgevineyards #montebello — 8 years ago

Once again this wine was the favorite. Not too sweet and with a little effervescence, it is light but full fruit flavor. It is best chilled. We served it at a dinner party with my daughter and her college friends and they thought it was fantastic! I have to get more. They drank both bottles I had saved! We served it with roasted turkey, garlic potatoes with mushroom gravy and grilled asparagus. It went well with the dinner. — 8 years ago

Folks at Ridge pulled out some Estate cab, Montebello, and this 05 Lytton Springs from the cellar. Perfect amount of age, great complexity and aromatics right now. — 8 years ago

9.1

Indicative of the region, a well-made Cabernet from one of Ridge's closest neighbors. Excellent color, deep purple with little fade. Oak is strong in the nose at first, but blows off quickly. Still has good, assertive fruit raspberry with a hint of darker fruit and understated briar (typical of the region). Surprisingly pleasing on the palate with more fruit than expected. Strong, bordering on rustic tannins and good acid. Not as elegant as some Santa Cruz mountains wines, and could be a little better balanced (slightly over-oaked), but an extremely pleasing wine and a good representation of the region and what it can be like with some time on it. — 10 years ago
