Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Chardonnay 2020

The 2020 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Chardonnay exemplifies world-class winemaking, aged fifteen months predominantly in American oak. This exceptional vintage delivers remarkable approachability with no decanting required. The palate presents an extraordinary paradox—profound flavour complexity and density while maintaining ethereal weightlessness. Exquisite notes of roasted tropical fruits intertwine with sophisticated elements of flint, brioche, and subtle masa. The near-minute finish cements this as one of North America's most distinguished Chardonnays, a rare treasure for discerning collectors.
