Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1995
4 magnums per lot
Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1995 Santa Cruz Three magnums in original wooden case "The 1995 Monte Bello is actually a Proprietary Red Wine as the blend is 69 Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 Merlot, 10 Petit Verdot, and 3 Cabernet Franc. It was made from an extremely severe selection of only 25 of the harvest. Paul Draper feels it is the biggest, brawniest, and most muscular Monte Bello of the 1990s, and in need of 10-15 more years of cellaring. This saturated ruby/purple-colored effort is still backward, with a closed nose of minerals, oak, and subtle black fruits. In the mouth, it is large-scaled, tannic, rich, and long, but nearly abrasive because of the wine's high tannin level. This youthful, muscular, monster Monte Bello will require significant cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #120 (Dec 1998) 4 magnums per lot
