ABOUT PLACE VINTNERS
The Napa Valley is home to 16 seperate American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). These distinct regions are recognized for the unique characteristics of their terroir, their innumerable microclimates and the quality of their fruit. Some are known for producing bold Cabernet Sauvignon, while others are known for being intense and structured, subtle and complex, or intense and concentrated. As vintners, we seek out the best fruit available from renowned growers in each appellation, and craft wines that are true to their "place", using only what God gave us to work with to create examples of wines that are true to their origins. We hope you enjoy our offerings.
