Vuonna 1885 lääkäri Osea Perrone osti maata harjanteen huipun läheltä, rakensi rinteisiin terassit ja istutti viiniköynnöksiä. Ensimmäinen vuosikerta valmistui vuonna 1892 kellarissa, joka oli rakennettu kalkkikiveen noin 790 metrin korkeudelle. Kieltolain jälkeen tila rapistui, kunnes neljä Stanford Research Instituten insinööriä, Dave Bennion, Hew Crane, Charlie Rosen ja Howard Zeidler, teki 1960-luvun alussa viiniä rinteen vanhoista cabernet-köynnöksistä.

Tyynenmeren viileä ilma pitää hapot raikkaina. Viini on Cabernet Sauvignon -painotteinen sekoitus, jossa on mukana Merlot'ta, Petit Verdot'ta ja Cabernet Francia. Judgment of Paris -maistajaisissa vuonna 1976 Monte Bello sijoittui punaviineistä viidenneksi.
