Description

I have for sale 1 bottle of Ridge Monte Bello 2010. The last bottle I am willing to sell.

The iconic Paul Draper of Ridge Vineyards believes this has the potential to be one of the most complex Monte Bello's ever produced. In the eyes of many critics, Ridge craft wines that rival Bordeaux First Growth in terms of quality and finesse.

The 2010 Monte Bello is just as stunning as it has always been. Today, the 2010 appears to be entering a closed phase, so it is best left alone for at least another 5-10 years, perhaps longer. The signatures are super-ripe, exotic fruit, sweet aromatics and firm tannins, all of which ensure the 2010 will be utterly magnificent in a few decades. The growing season was characterized by mostly cold weather, with an unexpectedly intense heat spike in mid-October that gave the fruit a final push. One of the things that makes this vintage so compelling is the interplay of firm structural elements from the cold year and a high level of ripeness that was achieved late. In my view, the 2010 is one of the most thrilling recent Monte Bellos, however it won't be ready to drink for a number of years and it won't peak for quite some time beyond that.

Score: 97+ Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, July 2015

This averages 93.3 points on Cellartracker.

The cheapest this can be bought in the UK is £106, although given the quality of the vintage, the price of the 2010 vintage represents good value in comparison to other vintages e.g. the 2009 which was a similar quality vintage is currently priced at upwards of £159 and the 2005 which is an inferior vintage is priced at £144.
