Ridge Vineyards, based in Cupertino, California, pursues a single-vineyard, pre-industrial approach to winemaking, prioritizing sites where climate, soil, and grape variety align to express terroir. Its production centers on red wines, led by Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller contributions from syrah, grenache, and carignane, and a long-standing program of Chardonnay since 1962 in limited quantities. The emphasis is on origin and site-specific wines rather than broad regional blends. Ridge's focus is on California vineyards that meet its criteria for climate and soil balance with varietal characteristics. With a multi-decade history as a producer of premium, site-driven wines, Ridge continues to operate from Cupertino, California. In November 2025 the company announced leadership changes, promoting Michael Torino to president and reorganizing other senior roles.
