Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1974
Santa Cruz
Lot 814 levels: bottom neck or better; bin soiled labels. Lot 815 levels: eight bottom neck or better and four top shoulder; five bin soiled labels. Lot 816 levels: eleven bottom neck or better and one top shoulder; nine bin soiled labels, three taped onto bottles; three with signs of seepage
This is an amazing stash of one of the finest Ridge Monte Bellos ever produced. According to James Laube, "Deep ruby, with ripe, spicy currant and anise flavors that are fresh, rich, and focused, turning smooth and elegant on the finish. There's a wonderful sense of harmony and proportion and the tannins are mild." Wine Spectator's California Wine, Second Edition, 1999
