Ridge Vineyards - Monte Bello Ridge
Ridge Vineyards, a California winery renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay, operates in two northern Californian locales. The original winery, perched at 2,300 feet on Monte Bello Ridge in Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, boasts historical significance dating back to 1885 when vines were first planted. Founded officially in the early 1960s, Ridge Vineyards gained acclaim with its 1971 Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon in the 'Judgment of Paris.' Purchased by engineers from Stanford Research Institute, it started commercial production in 1962. The winery's international reputation soared after its Monte Bello wine ranked high in various competitions, including the 30th Anniversary Judgment of Paris. Besides Cabernet Sauvignon, Ridge Vineyards began producing Zinfandel in 1964 and expanded sourcing grapes to Sonoma County in 1966, eventually acquiring the Lytton Springs vineyard in 1991. Operating in both Monte Bello and Lytton Springs, the winery welcomes visitors to tasting rooms at both locations.
