The Estate vineyard is 9 ½ acres situated just south of the legendary Stags Leap growing region on the famous Silverado Trail. Planted in 1996 and hedonistic from the start and true to its world-class vineyard’s characteristics of blackberry, dark cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and just a hint of spice.
