In 1979 Richard Thornton Boswell’s vision was to focus solely on the noble Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon varietal in his hand hewn stone winery nestled along the Silverado Trail in Saint Helena. Today our family, under the direction of Susan Boswell, continues those valiant efforts, though we have vastly diversified our portfolio to include wines from many of California’s most treasured vineyards in the Napa Valley for our Cabernet, the Russian River Valley for our Chardonnay and in Sta. Rita Hills for our Pinot Noir. Our pursuit remains true, to craft, quite simply, the greatest expression of terroir.
40 years ago, famed winemaker André Tchelistcheff graced our winery with his immense knowledge and directed our first efforts. It is with a great sense of history and continued quest for excellence that we continue on this path under the tutelage of winemaker Philippe Melka with Allison Nunnikhoven as assistant winemaker.
Our vineyard designated wines are true to their source with each of these wines being very limited in production with less than 350 cases per wine produced. We never lose sight of the fact that smaller lots equal higher quality no matter how tempting it may be to increase production to meet demand.
