Rookie mistake to drink this beauty right after the SQN…but the error of a hedonist, to be sure. This was devoured before it could warm up from cellar but just wow. Iconic. Luscious.

Out in the middle of no-where California, lies the Monte Bello vineyard from Ridge. The ‘07 vintage boasts a strong nose of violets and wet stone that precedes unctuous flavors of cassis and blackberry. The finish is long and speckled with mineral.

2007-ridge - soil, manure smell, a bit bolder than the 2006. I liked this one but needs to open up a lot. Can stand many more years of cellaring. 9.0+ $260

My favourite for the night. Full-bodied with big bouquet of berries, earthy smokiness and some spice. Well structured with fresh black fruits and some minerality. Nice firm tannins giving it a long finish.
