Verkostungsnotiz von Antonio Galloni von Juni 2019:
Once again an overachiever. Ridge's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is regal. Aromatically intense and deep on the palate. the 2016 proves to be utterly captivating from the very first taste. Dark fruit. chocolate. licorice. dried flowers. leather and menthol infuse the 2016 with remarkable complexity. In 2016. the last year of the drought cycle Ridge made one of the very best editions of this wine. Just as remarkably. the 2016 is incredibly harmonious for such a young wine.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Monte Bello Vineyard is composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon. 19% Merlot. 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. aged 17 months in American oak (35% new). It has a medium to deep ruby color with scents of blackcurrant. chocolate-covered cherries. cedar. cigar box. red fruit sparks. dried flowers and blackcurrant bud plus notions of graphite and iron. Medium to full-bodied. it offers wonderfully lush fruits and firmly integrated. classically rustic tannins. seamless freshness and a long. savory finish.
