SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS ESTATE 2007, RIDGE
Photos are illustrative only.
TASTING NOTES
The Santa Cruz Mountains Estate is fantastic value, coming as it does from exactly the same lots of wine as those which go to make up the far more expensive Monte Bello. This edition is characteristically stylish and manages to find a middle ground between typical Californian and French styles.
PRODUCER NOTES
At the top of a mountain outside San Francisco there’s Ridge, who seem to have got just about everything right . The labels are iconic, the wines are outstanding. Beginning with their top wine, the Montebello and continuing through the Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet (a bargain considering it almost is Montebello – the wines are only separated after they’re in barrel) to the outstanding zinfandels from Geyserville and Lytton Springs, the whole range strikes a perfect balance between French elegance and Californian exuberance. Consistently delicious.
