Product Notes

Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello is a world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon blend that has been produced in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California for over 60 years. This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, displaying a complex character thanks to the unique microclimate and soil composition of the vineyard. The wine is aged in American oak barrels, which imparts a subtle vanilla and spice flavor to the wine. The result is a full-bodied wine with notes of black fruit, cassis, and a hint of chocolate, with an elegant and long-lasting finish. Monte Bello is a collector's wine that has consistently ranked highly among the world's top Cabernet Sauvignons, earning it a well-deserved reputation as one of California's premier wines.

About the Winery

Ridge Vineyards

The story of Ridge Vineyards starts in 1885 with its founder, Osea Perrone. Osea was a doctor by profession. He purchased 180 acres of land at a place close to the top of the Monte Bello Ridge. He worked on the slopes and prepared them to plant vineyards. He used native limestone to construct the winery. At that time, the name of the winery was Monte Bello Winery.
