Merchant's description

Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon red wine from the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Ridge Vineyards is a prestigious Californian wine producer known for its exceptional quality and commitment to traditional winemaking techniques. Nestled in the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains, Ridge employs minimal intervention and sustainable practices. The 100-point 2013 is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. "A Monte Bello for the ages, the 2013`s brooding bouquet unfolds to reveal notes of black raspberry, juicy blackcurrant, burning embers and deep-pitched, rich soil tones. On the palate the wine is simply stunning, with a beautifully three-dimensional, refined tannic chassis. Analytically, this is the most tannic Monte Bello of the millennium, but that structure is clothed with a wealth of fruit—so much so that Ridge forwent their habitual egg white fining this year. Watch this profound wine begin to blossom after a decade in the cellar." Decanter, 2016
