At the northwest edge of Napa Valley, Rockerbox Vineyard sits at the foot of Mount Saint Helena where the headwaters of the Napa River begin. The 60-acre vineyard is cradled in a natural canyon, and Cabernet vines root deeply in the rocky, gravelly soils to produce dense red and blue fruit character.
