Introduction
Ridge has sixty years of winemaking history at the top of Santa Cruz Mountains at Monte Bello.
A mountain home.
Monte Bello is first and foremost a wine of place. That place – high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains underlain by decomposing limestone and Franciscan rock – produces a wine unlike any other.
A Cool Micro-Climate
The Monte Bello vineyard, located only 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, is part of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, California’s coolest cabernet producing area.
