Ridge Monte Bello 1978 Santa Cruz Mountains 37.5cl

Single vineyard Meritage (Californian Bordeaux-style blend) of Cabernet Sauvignon dominance, from the Monte Bello vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA; Matured for 20 months in oak barrels.

An iconic name in Californian wine making, Ridge vineyards only began in the 1960's, however, wine has been produced at the site underthe name 'Monte Bello Winery' since 1885. Renowned for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Chardonnay, their Bordeaux-style blends are considered rivals to these from the great Bordeaux Chateaux. 

This 1978 vintage is made from a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot.
