We purchased Soda Canyon Vineyard in 1999, and since then, it has become our most important Napa Valley vineyard, featuring Bordeaux varietals that create the layered flavors and complexity of our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Situated on the first bench off the Vaca mountain range, the site is warm and dry, yet moderated by the cooling effect of the San Pablo Bay. The hilly terrain has closely spaced vine rows with various sun exposures. Ideal for the heat-loving red varieties we’ve planted, the volcanic soils feature large rocks mixed with gravel.
