A Place Of Uncommon Power And History
The Napanook vineyard is nestled in a natural amphitheater at the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains on the west side of the Napa Valley. Fed by winter rains, its underground springs flow through ancient riverbeds and provide a natural supply of water to its grapevines, allowing them to develop deep roots.
Over centuries this fertile benchland’s microclimate has provided ideal conditions for crops and grape growing.
It was here, in 1838, that George Yount planted Napa Valley’s very first vines.
Meticulous Winemaking
We produce wines that reflect the purity, complexity and character of grapes grown exclusively from the Napanook vineyard. This unique provenance qualifies our wines as estate-bottled, a rarely found designation.
The character of a wine is defined by the grapes at harvest. With our extensive efforts in the vineyard, once we have the grapes in hand, our winemaking practice is minimalist:
