2000 Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon Santa Cruz Mts.
Elegance in a bottle is the best way to describe this cab. Dense and exotic sweet oak, with cassis, black cherry, and chewy black plums.
An ancient estate vineyard planted in the 1880’s was neglected, only to find fame again in the 70’s. This is a wine that will give some 2000 Bordeaux a run for their money. Check out Dallas Fine Wines for inventory.

We sat with owner Mary Cloutier-Arabatzis, who with her chef husband also own Ziziki’s three locations throughout Dallas, and she was excited about the newest location in One Arts Plaza which formerly housed The Commissary.
