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.
