Located within our Yountville Ranch Vineyard, Bryan’s Block is dedicated to Bryan Del Bondio, former President of Markham Vineyards, whose vision and devotion over his 42-year tenure left a profound impact on our winery. Within the 78-acre site, this Block sits just below the wooded area where Bryan and his father used to hunt for porcini mushrooms after the first rains of fall.

During harvest we carefully marked specific rows within this block. And, after barrel aging 30 months in French Oak, we chose just 10 barrels of this remarkable, powerful Cabernet. This inaugural vintage is a true testament to Bryan’s legacy, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.
