Triumphant Release of a Cabernet Collectible: Ridge Monte Bello
Plus, Top 2021 Cult-Caliber Cabs from Northern California

Ridge’s Monte Bello is an iconic Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2021 vintage continues this storied tradition. From a remarkable year in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2021 Monte Bello is already demonstrating why it is considered “one of California’s most collectible Cabs.” To put it in perspective, we’ve curated a selection of top Northern California Cabernets that exemplify the excellence of this varietal in a superb vintage.

100 points James Suckling: "Tightly wound at this stage, the wine is massively concentrated, taut, yet trim and medium-bodied. Aged in 100% new oak, predominantly American, it offers espresso, blackberry, black cherry and vanilla bean flavors with a linear intensity and drive. Known to age and improve for several decades, this is one of Californias most collectible cabs and from a classic, age-worthy vintage. Best from 2031."

97 points Wine Enthusiast: "This ageworthy classic is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot this vintage. The nose offers focused aromas of blackberry, toasted herb and light caramel with a hint of cocoa dust. The firm, leathery palate feels like it will last forever, as waves of berry, herb, pepper, clove and pencil shavings flow on. *Cellar Selection* (MK)"
