RIDGE VINEYARDS ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023

95 POINTS, Decanter. "Classic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, in a very cool site, and at Monte Bello this harvest finished in the middle of November. It has all the timeless notes of California mountain herbals, bay leaf, eucalyptus and manzanita and purple sage. It’s intensely focused, and the tannins are prominent. But elegance is the watchword here. Woodland berries, and sumac with white pepper and a glimpse of lemon zest. Brilliant."

95 POINTS, Jeb Dunnuck. "From Monte Bello, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant, made from the most approachable lots of this famous site. Red fruit-dominant, it offers firm, expansive tannins, oak spice, and sharp acidity, dazzling in cranberry, clove, and cedar."
