These vines are showcased in our Yountville Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon, and a very small selection of this fruit, chosen for its singular quality, is used to craft our limited production Paradise Block Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon.

CARNEROS
Arguably one of the finest regions to grow Chardonnay and the best blocks we reserve for our Paris Tasting Commemorative Chardonnay and Miljenko’s Selection Chardonnay

Summer fog and constant cooling wines make it arguably one of the finest regions to grow Chardonnay. These prized vines produce our legendary Chardonnay, and the best blocks we reserve for our Paris Tasting Commemorative Chardonnay and Miljenko’s Selection Chardonnay.

American Canyon
With slightly cooler temperatures and stronger winds that reduce the vines’ vigor.
Total Acreage:131.9

This is the largest and most southern of our five vineyards, and a showpiece for our regenerative farming practice. We can receive higher quality, concentrated fruit with slightly cooler temperatures than Carneros and stronger winds that reduce the vines’ vigor.
