We suggest serving the wine at just above cellar temp and not decanting it
resulting in a profile that feels poised and lifted rather than overworked or dense
high-altitude slopes with minimal intervention to prioritize soil expression
late-season ripening
This wine got nearly perfect scores from the major critics and is one of the greatest estates in Pomerol - rivals Petrus
2021 Ridge, Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains Producer_Clos Saint Joseph We suggest serving the wineExcellent, ravishing, plush and opulent, but still finds its fruit kept in balance with earthy mineral notes and refreshing acidity. Ridge makes what we consider to be one of the historic, great Cabernet bottles in American history (Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet), which trades for $200+ and rightfully so! However, this wine, made from younger vines in the exact same Monte Bello Vineyard site, delivers an incredible value we are here for every year.
