2021 Ridge Monte Bello (750ml)
97 Points
"The 2021 Monte Bello is a top-tier wine from this reverential site in the

Santa Cruz Mountains. The blend contains quite a bit more Merlot than

usual (31%), which is a reflection of reduced Cabernet yields stemming

from the drought-riddled 2021 growing season. Broad, infinitely

layered and rooted in deep spice tones, the 2021 opens with a forceful

kick of wild blackberry and orange peel, delving deeper into complex

layers of black olive, new leather, violet and sweet pipe tobacco.

Surprisingly giving and undeniably fresh, the 2021 is precise, laserfocused and propulsive, stationing the midline of the palate with an

army of well-honed tannins and culminating in a finish that seemingly

never ends. This is everything Monte Bello should be.
