For many years, we sold all our grapes to leading Napa Valley wineries such as Freemark Abbey, Raymond, Rombauer, Robert Biale and Rutherford Hill, which turned them into award-winning wines. In 1994, we began making our own wines from a portion of our estate vineyard, so we could control every aspect of the grape growing and winemaking process. In 2001, we completed construction of a new winery on the estate, which enables us to combine state-of-the-art technology with traditional old-world methods to produce a small quantity of handcrafted Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Retaggio (Red Blend), Sauvignon Blanc, and coming soon.....Petite Sirah.

Cabernet Sauvignon, the "king" of red wines, is a variety ideally suited to our vineyard's gravelly, volcanic soils and warm, dry microclimate. Our fully ripened cabernet grapes produce rich, complex, flavorful red wines boasting a silky texture and lush berry and cherry fruit flavors. Aging in French and American oak barrels further enriches and refines these delicious, world-class wines, which have earned many accolades.

We also make a small amount of estate-grown Sangiovese, the noble red of Italy's Tuscany region. This is a rich, fruit-forward red wine, ideal with a broad range of Mediterranean cuisines, that reflects our family's Italian heritage. Because we produce less than 100 cases annually, it's available only to our mailing list and tasting room customers.
