Lot #796. Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 1996

Description: Consists of 5 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 JL.
"If anyone wanted to state that Ridge Monte Bello is the best example of a classic style of California Cabernet Sauvignon , I'm going to agree with them. This stunning wine is just what the doctor ordered, with its concentrated layers of fresh dark berries, earth, spice and tobacco scented personality. Mouth filling, multi-layered, long rich, the wine builds in the mouth and captures your attention with each additional sniff, swirl and sip. Still young, this should age for decades." Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, Jul 10, 2013
Notes: Inventory labels on capsules, 3 very lightly scuffed and 1 lightly wine stained labels.
