Bid on this bottle of 2013 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon (100DC, 100JS, 100RP, 98VN, 96WS, 95WE, 94W&S). Wine Advocate: "The 2013 Monte Bello is a very special vintage for this great wine... On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, powerful and multidimensional, with a lavishly textural attack that segues into a stunningly layered, richly structured mid-palate endowed with incredible depth and concentration underpinned by succulent acids. The finish is long, vibrant and beautifully delineated. The 2013 is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot, and it attained 13.6% natural alcohol... This profound Monte Bello will begin to blossom as it reaches age ten and should prove practically immortal. (WK)" (05/2018)

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 millenium, 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. (WK)

Incredibly youthful for its age and also extremely expressive. Still some delicate, floral notes at 9 years of age, but also a spectacular array of fruit aromas from redcurrant to pomegranate. Enormous concentration is married to stunning silkiness and almost supernatural energy that drives the extremely long and precise finish. A cuvee of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 8% petit verdot, 7% cabernet franc and 5% merlot. Tasted at the Thomas Kammeier Monte Bello vertical. Decades of aging potential.
