Vineyards
Yates Family Vineyard - Mt Veeder
Situated approximately 1,300 feet above the valley floor, Yates Family Vineyard sits high on a steeply sloping ridge, offering excellent drainage and outstanding sun exposure. It is a challenging vineyard to work, as all farming is done by hand. The demanding terrain creates a difficult environment for fruit to grow, resulting in small berries formed into loose clusters. These conditions produce wines with exceptional color and structure, and remarkable aging potential.
Ridgeback Estate Vineyard - Spring Mountain District
Our estate vineyard, Ridgeback Vineyard, sits atop a craggy knoll approximately 1,000 feet above the town of St. Helena. Its undulating hills and rocky soils provide excellent drainage, leaving very little water or nutrients available in the soil. As a result, the vines are forced to dig deep in search of natural water sources. This challenging environment yields small, intensely flavored berries.
Stagecoach Vineyard - Pritchard Hill Area of Napa Valley
Nestled between Pritchard Hill and the Atlas Peak AVA, this vast mountain top vineyard sits between 1200’ and 1750’ above sea level, well above the fog line. A difficult terrain to farm, immense amounts of basalt boulders were removed prior to planting this south facing vineyard. We source from a few blocks, containing different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
