this is tough in tannins and somewhat rustic now, in the way of young monte bellos. there's not much to recommend opening it anytime soon, especially if you're a fan of the modern style of accessible lusciousness. but it is rich and minerally, with a fine core of black fruit. monte bello estate (not to be confused with ridge's similarly-named estate monte bello, which costs far less) is a wine that historically ages very well, and 2009 was a pretty good vintage, so you're safe cellaring it for at least 10 years.
