2021 Ridge, Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains Producer_Clos Saint Joseph This wine got nearly perfectExcellent, 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!
