The history of the Ridge Three Valleys began with the release of the 2001. The wine contains grapes from a number of Sonoma vineyards—this year, ten. We take great care in selecting the fruit, which is hand-harvested then crushed and fermented on its native yeast and naturally occurring malolactic bacteria at both Monte Bello and Lytton Springs wineries. Unlike our single-vineyard wines, which reflect the distinctive character of each site, Three Valleys represents the blending of vineyards—winemaking at its finest. Zinfandel determines the wine’s varietal character; old-vine carignane contributes bright fruit and acidity; petite sirah spice, depth of color, and firm tannins.
Ridge Description
Ridge Vineyards, with roots dating back to 1885, stands as a cornerstone of California's winemaking heritage, pioneering single-vineyard wines and championing terroir-driven viticulture. Their participation in the 1976 Judgment of Paris helped elevate the global reputation of California wines, while their commitment to traditional, minimal-intervention winemaking techniques has set a standard for quality and authenticity in the industry. Ridge's iconic wines, particularly the Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon and their acclaimed Zinfandels, have become benchmarks in their categories, consistently demonstrating exceptional quality over decades. Moreover, Ridge's leadership in transparency through comprehensive ingredient labeling has influenced consumer expectations and industry practices, further cementing their importance in shaping American wine culture and history.
