The
Santa Cruz Mountains holds a special distinction. It is home to the only two
estate-bottled mountain Cabernets that are truly influenced by the Pacific
Ocean and both have been at it awhile: Ridge Monte Bello (1962) and Mount Eden
Estate (1946). If you appreciate the qualities that result in Bordeaux
varieties grown on the edge--namely, low alcohols, earth-driven flavors and
unique terroir--these are the best examples.
2012 was a
great California Cabernet vintage. Even though a drought year, the season was
long and cool. Harvest started on October 4th and ended October 26th. The slow
autumnal ripening allowed the fruit to develop beautiful depth and complexity.
Finally, after two years in our cellar and two years in the bottle, we present
this extraordinary wine.
Distinctive
aromas of blackberry, black pepper, cardamom, sage and earth abound. The
flavors are rich and balanced (13% alcohol) with impressive depth on the mid-palate.
The acidity is high, indicating a long evolution yet the balance of tannin is
integrated.
Total Production: 1,546 cases
