Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Vineyard Chardonnay 2013
Ridge's Monte Bello Vineyard Chardonnay is one of most coveted Chardonnays in California. A gem from the Santa Cruz Mountains, it's got complex fruit aromas and flavors, firm acidity, leesy texture and a mineral streak that make this a Chardonnay that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your next meal. previous vintage 94 points Robert Parker: "The Chardonnay Monte Bello is a beauty. Ripe, concentrated and still fresh, with lots of golden fruits, toasty oak, crème brulee and minerality, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with a classy, balanced fruit and integrated acidity. Full, complete, concentrated and balanced, it will have a decade or more of longevity...This was a terrific set of wines from Ridge.

Super elegant and concentrated particularly when you consider the American oak used to barrel ferment.

Lemon cupcake. Sweet with a little backbone of lemon zest. More oak than I remember. Full body. Could see it aging but we drank it. :)
