94 points Jeb Dunnuck"From a terrific vineyard on the southern side of Saint Joseph, the 2016 Saint Joseph Les Royes offers more finesse and elegance, with awesome notes of cassis, crushed violets, pepper, and spring flowers. Showing terrific minerality...

92 points Decanter"A high energy wine with brilliant mineral layers, racy lemony acid, texture and long finish. Sourced from 70-year-old vines from Santorini's largest vineyard owner. Vinified in stainless steel with 4 months on lees and regular...

95 points James Suckling"A beautifully crafted pinot, as always, with focused fruit, subtle undertones of cedar and leather and hints of foie gras. It’s full-bodied, but not heavy, with plenty of tension and focus. Bright acidity with depth and...

Karen MacNeil - The Wine Bible"As structured, powerful, and impeccably balanced as a First Growth Bordeaux, the Ridge Monte Bello cabernet sauvignons are majestic wines. Opening one from a great vintage when it's young is almost criminal, for while the...
