Ridge Forever – 21 Years and Counting…

Ridge has pioneered single-vineyard wine making since 1962, and at either the Monte Bello or Lytton Springs location, you will have the opportunity to experience the estate wines known throughout the world for their excellence and distinctive sense of place.

Ridge’s Monte Bello Cabernet “introduced Ridge to the world” and is known as the winery’s “flagship” wine. This glossy dark vintage has impressed wine lovers with its concentrated, deep flavors and aromas. Enthusiasts have flocked to this wine since it gained international fame at the Judgment of Paris, and it continues to stun with its elegance and complexity.

In addition to the tasting experience, you will take home a double magnum (3L) bottle of the impeccable 96-points 2022 Monte Bello Cabernet. As noted in The Wine Advocate’s recent review “The 2022 Monte Bello is a rich and distinctly firm iteration of this classic cuvée, evoking a hypothetical blend between the textural power of the 2017 and the bracing structure of the 2015. The nose displays a classically deep and resonant bouquet of red and black fruits, vanilla pod, dark chocolate, cigar wrapper and dried herbs, with balsamic overtones and admirable oak integration… It will take time to view the full potential here, but it certainly delivers the tried-and-true profile long-time fans will expect.”
