Lot 416 Details
RIDGE MONTE BELLO 2017

Santa Cruz Mountains, California.
u. 3 x bn.

The 2017 Monte Bello is ultra powerful and concentrated, unfurling over the several days it was open to reveal rich cassis, roast plums, tar, aniseed and exotic spices. What sets the palate apart is its purity: though incredibly layered, it offers a kaleidoscopic journey from blackcurrant to tobacco and dried flowers, offering continual sparks of flavor long after the wine has been swallowed. Structurally, it has the firm but ripe tannins and seamless freshness to dictate a very long life in the cellar. 3,750 cases produced. February 2021 Drink to 2040 WA 98

3 bts.    per lot $800 - $1,000

Realised: $1,152
