Ridge Monte Bello--Vintage 2001
12 bottles per lot
Ridge Monte Bello--Vintage 2001 Santa Cruz Moutains In original wooden six-bottle cases Tasting note: A dense ruby/purple colour is accompanied by extravagant, generous aromas of pen ink, lead pencil shavings, spice box and black fruits. The wine is full-bodied and silky textured, but secondary nuances have not yet begun to develop as it is still very primary, tasting more like a 3-4 year old Monte Bello than one that is ten years of age. Nevertheless, it reveals spectacular concentration, a voluptuous texture, a rare opulence for a Ridge Monte Bello, and an incredible finish. The upside is enormous and this cuvee may prove somewhat atypical due to the huge percentage of Merlot in the final blend and the higher than normal alcohol. But make no mistake about this Monte Bello it is a great wine. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. Robert Parker Wine Advocate #195, June 2011 12 bottles per lot
