User Reviews for Ridge Monte Bello
Add your reviewThe Monte Bello had an excellent balance of tannins and acidity and a delightful finish. It’s a young wine and still age-worthy, but it’s definitely drinkable now. The aromas and flavors included blackberries and currant, and just the right amount of spice and oak. This is not an overly complicated wine but a high quality Cabernet that is approachable and will be enjoyed now and a few more years to come.
