The Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the flagship wines produced by Ridge Vineyards and is highly regarded for its quality and ageing potential. The fruit is sourced from the Monte Bello vineyard located in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. The 2012 vintage in California was generally considered excellent, characterized by favorable weather conditions that led to high-quality grapes. The growing season was warm and relatively dry, resulting in well-ripened fruit with balanced acidity and tannins.
