Area Wineries

Araujo Estate Wines - The Araujo Estate is a Chateau-style wine property located in the northeast Napa Valley. Its two primary components are the 40-acre Eisele Vineyard, and the winery and cave complex which we designed and built specifically to vinify Eisele Vineyard grapes. The Eisele Vineyard is one of the most respected cabernet sauvignon vineyards in the Napa Valley, equivalent to a premier cru Bordeaux. Warm days, cool nights and well-drained cobbly soils produce remarkable wines. The vineyard was established more than 100 years ago, and was first planted to cabernet sauvignon in 1964. When we acquired it in 1990 we began extensive renovation, refining the varietal mix and upgrading clone-rootstock combinations to realize the property's potential for joining the international elite of limited production wine estates oriented exclusively to quality.

Atlas Peak Vineyards - is producing some of the most exciting wines on the market today. The winery and surrounding property are a collaborative effort between Allied Domecq Wines, USA, and Piero Antinori, whose family has a distinguished 600-year Italian winegrowing history. Atlas Peak Vineyards is America's leading producer of Sangiovese � a grape made famous in the Northern Italian region of Tuscany.

Carneros Creek Winery - was founded in 1972 as the first winery to be built in the Carneros Region of California since Prohibition. The Carneros is an officially designated viticulture area located on the northern edge of the San Francisco Bay and is recognized as having a distinct microclimate: cool bay breezes, minimal rainfall, and a long growing season. These are conditions that prove to be ideal for growing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varities . . . the same grapes that made Burgundy famous. Owners Francis and Kathy Mahoney recognized the Carneros' potential for producing wines similar to the great wines of Burgundy, and in conjunction with U.C. Davis, Francis implemented a critical research project on clonal selections best suited for the Carneros. Consequently, Francis Mahoney is considered one of the pioneers in bringing Pinot Noir to the forefront in California red wine production.

Jessup Cellars - produces its high quality wines by using the finest Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley grapes. Grapes are hand picked and gently crushed. The winery has top of the line equipment to make wine the age-old way -- gentle punch down, pressing, barrel to barrel racking and topping. The winery chooses barrels that specifically enhance the characteristics of the varietals that are produced in them. Jessup Cellars wines are all aged in American or French Oak Barrels. The wines are made without compromise to quality. Jessup Cellars has a reputation and family tradition of high quality standards and hard work ethic. Mark Jessup is the winemaker, with 20 years experience.

Hagafen Cellars - is located in the Napa Valley, in the heart of California's premier wine grape region. Owned and operated by Irit and Ernie Weir, the winery was founded in 1979. The first vintage released commercially was harvested in 1980. In the ensuing 20 years, we have grown from a small partnership producing wine with grapes from Winery Lake Vineyard, then owned by Rene DiRosa, to a well-established wine company whose wines are distributed throughout North America and overseas. Our wines have been served on numerous occasions at the White House to visiting foreign dignitaries. In November 1999, we broke ground for our new winery on the Silverado Trail. Hagafen Cellars currently produces 7,000 cases of premium table wines each year. (707) 252-0781

Staglin Family Vineyard - is a family-owned Napa Valley winery, devoted to producing extremely limited quantities of the highest quality wine from its own vineyard. Staglin has been rated one of the top five vineyards in all of California. Wines of distinction have been made from this vineyard for more than 30 years.

Pepi Winery - located in the Napa Valley, is an innovator and pioneer in the quality production of Italian varietals in California. We are well-known for crafting the quintessential California Sangiovese, stellar Sauvignon Blanc, and limited quantities of rare varieties such as Arneis and Teroldego. (707) 945-1391

Robert Keenan Winery - Chardonnay was the first Keenan wine released and it immediately established the winery as a leading producer of Chardonnay. The Cabernet grapes came into leaf and the resulting Cabernet vintages were immediate successes. The 1978 was voted the best California Cabernet of that vintage. The 1986 Cabernet was acclaimed as the 42nd best Cabernet in the world by Wine Spectator. In 1978, Keenan purchased a small volume of Merlot grapes as a way to also acquire some desired Chardonnay grapes. The resulting Merlot proved extremely popular and Merlot became a permanent part of the winery's selection. The reputation of the Keenan Merlots was solidified in 1988 when tasting of the Keenan Merlots against the world famous Petrus wines (Merlots) resulted in a virtual draw.
