Just a little austere and dry on the end. Very young and wiry for now. (JR)

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Monte Bello Vineyard is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Lighter than normal for a Monte Bello, it will also be more limited in terms of longevity (these wines can sometimes last 35-50 years). The medium-bodied 2011 offers up red and blackcurrant and spicy oak notes, a modestly endowed mouthfeel and light tannin. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
Ridge's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is quite laid back in this vintage. Sweet floral notes meld into red stone fruits, pomegranate and cinnamon. In keeping with the style of the year, the 2011 is medium in body, feminine and gracious. Best of all, it will drink well pretty much right out of the gate.
