The story of Ridge Vineyards dates back to 1885 when vines were first planted on their Monte Bello Estate, however, it was in 1962 when the winery was re-bonded by its new owners that it began to catch worldwide recognition for its Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Shortly after, they produced their first Zinfandel wine and since then have been one of the biggest advocates of the varietal.
