Ridge Vineyards was founded in 1962 and is widely considered one of the greatest and most consistent producers in California. Produced from their oldest vines in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Monte Bello is unquestionably the flagship wine and in 2006 was made up of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It is still firmly structured and youthful but exhibits delicious notes of crème de cassis, mulberry, chocolate, cigar box and graphite. As ever it is supremely well balanced and has plenty of mileage left in it.
