Ridge Monte Bello is an red wine from United States, in the Napa Valley region (Northern California, a valley in Napa County, north of San Francisco Bay.), made principally from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Bordeaux-style mountain Cabernet that beat French First Growths in the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
In character, this premium tier delivers the classic cabernet sauvignon profile — blackcurrant, bell pepper, mint, graphite — with the structural stamp of Napa Valley and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
