This is a cellar-crew favorite. Everything about this wine is pleasurable and fun to drink. It’s great chilled ice cold on a warm day; as you allow the wine to warm up, notice the characteristics change in the glass.”

Oak Knoll AVA

  • Just south of Yountville, bound by the Napa River to the east.
  • Our estate sits along the far western Dry Creek side.
  • Marine influence from the San Pablo Bay makes Oak Knoll a “sweet spot,” with temperatures averaging 10°F cooler than Upper Napa Valley
  • Oak Knoll typically has the longest growing season in Napa Valley
