Ridge Vineyards

Ridge Vineyards is a renowned American wine brand located in the Santa Cruz Mountains region of California. Established in 1959 by a group of Stanford University engineers, including winemaker Paul Draper, Ridge Vineyards has become an iconic producer of exceptional wines. Ridge Vineyards is known for its commitment to crafting single-vineyard, estate-grown wines that showcase the distinct characteristics of their vineyard sites. They focus predominantly on producing red wines, with an emphasis on Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rhône varietals such as Syrah and Grenache.

The winery's flagship wine is the Ridge Monte Bello, a Bordeaux-style blend primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Monte Bello vineyard, situated at high elevations in the Santa Cruz Mountains, consistently produces wines of great depth, structure, and age-worthiness. Ridge Monte Bello has garnered international acclaim and is widely regarded as one of California's finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines.

Ridge Vineyards also produces a range of Zinfandel wines that have gained recognition for their balance, complexity, and ability to showcase the unique characteristics of the vineyard sites. These Zinfandels often exhibit ripe fruit flavors, spice, and a distinctive sense of terroir.
