About the Winery:

Founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has been crafting classic Napa Valley wines for nearly 40 years. The quality of Duckhorn Vineyards wines has always been based on a commitment to selecting the finest fruit; carefully sourcing grapes from top sites in the Napa Valley. The winery was built on the belief that great wines begin in the vineyard.

Today, the winery’s eight estate vineyards are located in alluvial fans of the Napa Valley and on the coveted slopes of Howell Mountain. Dedicated to making classic wines that reflect the unique character and quality of the vineyards. Winemaker Renée Ary understands the needs and opportunities presented by each specific terroir and microclimate. By approaching each vineyard block individually, Renee’s goal is to harvest when the flavours have reached their peak and the tannins are at their softest.
