Saturated purple color with notes of black cherry, chai spice, chaparral, and toasted oak. Bramble fruit on the palate with round, supple tannins, herbal forest character, and a long finish.

Blend: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot

A beautiful fresh red with blackberry blueberry and some chocolate. Pine light toffee and coffee undertones. Dried herbs too. Medium to full body with intensity and richness. Dusty tannins. Savory finish. Very drinkable now but even better in 2023.

Intense aromas of blackberry and cassis meet with smoked meats, strong oak and light herbs on the toasty, layered nose of this bottling, which includes 21% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Chipped wood flavors decorate the dark-fruit and roasted herb core of the palate. Matt Kettmann

The 2018 Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is on point and well-structured. This wine shows up with dried herbs, black fruit, and oak in its aroma and flavors. Pair it with a garlic and rosemary-laden, roast leg of lamb. 

A selection of the lots from Monte Bello that are more accessible as young wines, Ridge’s Estate Cabernet has supple black tannins in 2018, showing some earthy detail in their blueberry-skin flavors. There’s rich fatness to the texture, even as the tannins restrict the fruit from showing itself completely. This will need a few years in the cellar to open.
