  • Vinous, September 2020, Score: 96+

    The 2018 Monte Bello is a wine of extraordinary finesse. Although it doesn’t have the body or overt richness of some recent vintages, it more than makes up for that with its total sense of harmony. Lavender, mocha, spice, licorice and dried flowers all develop in a sublime, refined Monte Bello that will thrill Ridge lovers. This is an especially elegant, lithe vintage for Monte Bello that is marked by a dry year with no heat spikes and a very long harvest that wrapped up in late October.

  • Jancis Robinson, March 2024, Score: 19

    Full bottle 1,319 g. 78.7 tons from just 57 acres. 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Spring storms helped. Relatively cool, foggy summer led to harvest from 28 September to 18 October. 100% whole-berry fermentation pressed to barrel after eight days with reduced pumpovers to limit tannin extraction. 0.22 g/l calcium carbonate was added to seven of the 23 fermenters to reduce acidity. 100% new, air-dried barrels were mainly American but supplemented by 7% French and 3% specifically Ozark. 22 lots were assembled into the final blend. Really deep blackish garnet. Already thoroughly rewarding on the nose – truly a bouquet of complexity! Some menthol with strong, ripe cassis. Already smells tertiary and utterly beguiling. Both rich and savoury with much dried-leaf character. Luscious, savoury fruit and yet with a dry, neat finish. Opulent but not sweet. Gloriously satisfying already but clearly set for a long, long life that will deliver even more pleasure. Intense and glorious.
