This is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Monte Bello Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. California Ridge Vineyards Estate (2013) is black plum, cassis, blackberry, violets and smoke. on the nose and palate. Great intensity, length, character and backbone, pair with grilled meats. Decant two hours prior to serving, can easily for 10 years to marry and mature to bring out its best. - Community Wine Reviews
