The Vineyards

Miller Ranch, Yountville AVA

Location:

Tom Rinaldi personnally selected this vineyard, first Planted in the  1890’s  which is situated on the west side of Napa Valley, just south of the town of Yountville.  This historic vineyard sits flat on the valley floor that has been farmed by the Miller Family for generations.

Vines:

Tom selected this vineyard because the Sauvignon Blanc planted here enjoys full days of sun, un-shaded from the hillsides. By design, the vineyard has a few Sémillon and Muscat vines sporadically interplanted amongst the rows making it truly unique.

Soil: Composed of Cole Silt Loam, Yolo Loam, and Clear Lake Clay. Ideal for producing Sauvingon Blanc of intensity, aromatics, and minerality.

St. Helena AVA Vineyards

Tom Rinaldi has personally selected these 3 vineyards, one located on the west side of St. Helena on the Rutherford line, one across the street from Tom’s home, and one the northern part of town, which in our opinion, represent the area’s best region.

Beckstrom Vineyard

Varozza Vineyard

Secret Vineyard

Soil: Bale gravely rock from the alluvial fan of the mountains, well drained – home of the epicenter of Cabernet Sauvignon since the Civil War.

Oak Knoll AVA

Location: East of the mountain on the west side of the valley in the AVA’s north-west region. All-day and late-day sun exposure. Adjacent to numerous vineyards of distiction.

Vines: Planted to Cabernet Sauvignon clones 4 and 337.

Soil: Hard and rocky with fine clay interspersed. This mix results in a low to medium moisture-holding capacity, giving the vines a bit of a struggle, and just the right amount of nourishing moisture and nutrients.
