2013 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello - Steep Terraces" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon

Bid on this bottle of 2013 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello - Steep Terraces" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon (97VN). Vinous: "The 2013 Monte Bello Steep Terraces is just as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Unctuous and deep on the palate, the Steep Terraces boasts magnificent intensity. Even with all of its richness, the Steep Terraces possesses considerable freshness, which gives the flavors a distinctly red-fruit leaning profile. Raspberry jam, wild flowers, mint and pomegranate are fused into a long, sweet finish. The Steep Terraces parcel, a core Monte Bello component, was first planted in 1972. (AG)" (07/2016)
