Ridge Vineyards Montebello 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)
