The range at Ridge continues to expand with a number of vineyard-designate bottlings that offer something for every palate. The 2021 reds I tasted for this report are all terrific and worth seeking out. I found the 2020 Monte Bello and Estate Cabernet Sauvignon problematic. Both wines show clear signs of smoke taint. I can’t say I am terribly surprised. The Monte Bello was tainted when I tasted it from barrel, but that was during the COVID-19 lockdown. At the time, my hope was that I had received a less-than-perfect sample, but in the end, it was pretty representative of the finished wine.
