Hello World

Steve Reynolds, Winemaker

Wine has always played a large role in Steve’s life — from the time he was a teenager, tasting his way across Europe, to the moment, 20 years ago, when he decided to quit his day job and transform a dilapidated chicken ranch into a Tuscan-inspired winery. That winery — Reynolds Family Wines – has since blossomed into, well, let’s call it the Reynolds Family of Wines. That’s because over the last decade Steve has launched three ground-breaking brands and has been retained by half a dozen boldface clients.

Cameron Reynolds, National Sales Manager

Exposure to the wine industry is something Cameron has never been short of. Cameron Reynolds has interned and worked harvests in the Napa Valley since he was just a kid. From working harvests to observing the industry through the eyes of supply chain to heading National Sales, he has seen what it takes to grow a business on all scales of the wine world.

Cameron was born in Napa CA and was raised on his family’s estate winery in the Napa Valley. He grew up watching his parents build a legacy and the Reynolds Family Brand that still thrives evermore today.

He graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a bachelor’s degree in Wine and Viticulture and a concentration in wine business. Cameron returned to the Napa Valley to begin a career that would allow his family name to live on in the Napa Valley and across the country. He hopes to grow the Reynolds Family brand and continue the legacy of being “family owned and operated.”

Israel Irucuta, Vineyard Manager

Traci Stanier, General Manager

Traci started working for Reynolds Family Winery in 2007 in the Tasting Room. This led her to the position of Administrative Assistant to owner Suzie Reynolds, working for her family’s insurance company. In February of 2020, Traci returned to Reynolds Family Winery as General Manager.

Traci is an excellent communicator who brings a fresh and energetic approach to the wine industry. When not working at the winery, Traci spends her free time with her husband and five adult children. She loves living in the Napa Valley where she enjoys cooking, entertaining and of course wine!

Our cellar team is led by Arturo Irucuta who has been with Reynolds for more than 15 years. He is our backbone, cellar master, and makes the calls when Steve is not present. Arturo is a gifted enologist, viticulturist, and has a “a pallet” unlike any in the valley.
