Lot #784. Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 1976

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 AG.
"The 1976 Monte Bello is simply extraordinary, not to mention a superb example of 1970's California Cabernet Sauvignon. 1976 was a drought year, and that very much comes through in the wine's ripeness and overall density, even after all these years. A wine of superb aromatic intensity and striking inner sweetness, the 1976 has it all. Scents of mint, licorice, tobacco and savory herbs add nuance throughout, but as is so often the case with older Monte Bellos, the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. What a wine." Vinous, Jun 2017
Provenance: The Moineau Cellar
