Bid on this bottle of 2003 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon (94JS, 92ST, 92W&S). James Suckling: "This has a wonderful balance of full, silky tannins and creamy ripeness, but with a degree of delicacy that Californian wines with this kind of richness from the early 2000s often lack. Long, fleshy finish that remains cool and lively right to the end. A cuvee of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot and 7% petit verdot. " (01/2023)

Full ruby-red. Knockout nose offers blackberry, currant, plum, cedar, minerals and dark chocolate. Fresh, succulent and quite firm in the mouth, with brisk acids and a minty nuance lifting the dark berry and chocolate flavors. Finishes with chewy tannins that come across as a bit less harmonious than those of the young 2004. But this youthfully closed wine grew sweeter with aeration. (ST) 92+
