Though compact as a growing region, with its 45,000 acres of planted vineyard (just 9% of total valley acreage) across a remarkable fifteen sub-AVA's, the Napa Valley is legendary for its richness and diversity of soils, climate and topography. This range of growing conditions presents a remarkably diverse array of precious, but small vineyard options from which to source the noblest grapes.

As such, our approach to vineyard sourcing starts by finding extraordinary fruit available from the most coveted vineyards in the Napa Valley - from the unique blend of volcanic soils and clay characterizing Caldwell Vineyards in the southeastern Coombsville district, to the terraced hillsides of Howell Mountain and Pritchard Hill, and the prized To Kalon vineyards of Oakville. Hence, while some wineries are tied to a specific estate/vineyard year after year, our approach allows us the flexibility to access and discerningly select grapes to our exacting standards from among the full range of Napa Valley's finest vineyard blocks.
