The 2012 is a racy, voluptuous Monte Bello built on a core of sweet red fruit, with striking perfume, silky tannins and fabulous overall balance. The 2012 is of course an infant, and the new oak is still evident. As Vinous readers know, Monte Bello is a wine that really should not be touched until its tenth birthday, and even that requires an optimistic view. The 2012 has been a consistently brilliant wine. Today, it is once again stellar. - Antonio Galloni
The Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the flagship wines produced by Ridge Vineyards and is highly regarded for its quality and ageing potential. The fruit is sourced from the Monte Bello vineyard located in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. The 2012 vintage in California was generally considered excellent, characterized by favorable weather conditions that led to high-quality grapes. The growing season was warm and relatively dry, resulting in well-ripened fruit with balanced acidity and tannins.
