Vineyards

We adhere to the belief that great wine starts in the vineyard, and we’re able to control every aspect of the winemaking process, from vine to cork. More than 70 percent of our  grapes are grown on our Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, and we have decades-long partnerships with high-quality growers throughout northern California that complete our portfolio. Our talented vineyard crews lovingly care for every vine, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly farming.
