Product Description
Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 2021 is California’s most revered mountain Cabernet blend, born from the legendary estate vineyard perched at 2,300 feet elevation in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Earning three perfect 100-point scores from Karen MacNeil, Wilfred Wong, and James Suckling, this iconic wine showcases Ridge's unmatched site-specific winemaking mastery.
A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, it offers tightly wound aromas of blackberry, espresso, black cherry, and vanilla bean, with a taut, medium-bodied palate that builds in intensity. The finish is linear, driven by fine-grained tannins and mountain minerality. A collectible classic that will age decades. Drink 2031–2060.
