Further details
Estate Merlot and Perrone Merlot
Ridge first made Merlot in 1974 from the Point, the highest, most exposed block on the Monte Bello vineyard, at an elevation of 2600′. From 1975 on, it has been a part of the Monte Bello whenever assemblage tastings so indicated. As the younger plantings matured, it became apparent that not only did Merlot complement the Monte Bello, but also had the structure and complexity to merit a separate bottling. The southwest-facing slope of Perrone Ranch, exposed to cool Pacific Ocean winds, is challenging for Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot, however, performs well here and has formed a single vineyard Merlot in special vintages.
Lytton Estate Petite Sirah
The oldest Petite Sirah vines in the Lytton Estate vineyard were planted in 1901 and the youngest in 2008. In 2002, Ridge began bottling portions of the Petite Sirah as a separate wine for a limited release, up until then it had always been included in the Lytton Springs Zinfandel.
