All are superb. | SLAKED DECEMBER 1, 2008 1995 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Composed of 69% cabernet sauvignon , 18% merlot , 10% petit verdot , and 3% cabernet franc, the wine is dark and brooding, with complex notes of cedar and blackberry on the nose. Parker scored it 94-96 points, and compared it to "the great 1992 and 1991." At thirteen, the 1995 Monte Bello is still a child. It won't. | | |
