Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 2013, Santa Cruz Mountains
California, Usa$191.95
Actually it is 2014!
Vineyard says 15 - 30 years....wow!!
Window per AG 2026-2044.
Try 2027? (turning 70!)
The 2014 Monte Bello is bright, precise and finely sculpted throughout, with a slightly more reddish leaning flavor profile than is found in some of the surrounding vintages. In 2014, Monte Bello is built on bright, pulsating acidity and energy. Relative to recent vintages such as 2012, 2013 and 2015, the 2014 is a bit compact and tightly wound. The slightly nervous style is likely to require at least a decade to be fully appreciated. In 2014, the blend is more typical of Monte Bello than the Cabernet-dominated 2013, with a greater role for Merlot and other complementary grapes. The only real issue with the 2014 is that it is sandwiched between two truly epic vintages. Drinking window: 2026-2044. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, June 2016)

Priorat, Spain$49.95
x2016+2018x
.....now 2019
....let it breath min 2 hours
>gifted one to Ann & George in 2016
(Ann opened it one night after biking and beers, was way too strong for the occasion and needed air time, too bad as not enjoyed)
>gifted one to Brenda (birthday) & Bryce Feb 2019
May 2020....had with bbq steak, Sunday night dinner with the kids. So powerful, think it may have been a bit much for Crystal. Andrew actually sipped it and like it or so he says. This wine, Priorat in general, with aging, aeration and the right food is absolutely delicious. (93)
