Description:

Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, Ridge Winery is a jewel of American winemaking. Since its founding in 1962, Ridge has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to quality, particularly through its outstanding wine, Monte Bello. Often hailed as an icon of California wine, this wine is crafted from grapes grown on steep, cool mountain slopes. Monte Bello is renowned for its exceptional complexity and longevity.

This wine blends classic Bordeaux grape varieties, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Careful winemaking and patient aging in oak barrels result in a wine with deep aromas of dark berries, tobacco, and spices, supported by an elegant tannin structure. The cool mountain location imparts a remarkable balance and freshness to Monte Bello, setting it apart from other Californian wines.

Ridge and its Monte Bello represent the best of traditional and innovative winemaking, masterfully showcasing the unique terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
