Chappellet is recognized as one of the great Napa Valley wineries, and one of the few which remains family owned.

Molly is an avid gardener and knew Western HIlls Garden founder’s, Lester Hawkins and Marshall Olbrich, which makes this partnership particularly special.

Sitting high up on Napa’s Pritchard Hill, Chappellet’s distinctive terroir presents a variety of elevations, exposures and soil structures offering unique growing environments. Since its first vintage in 1968, Chappellet has consistently set the standard for mountain grown wines of rare depth, longevity and elegance.

Ryme Cellars is a collaboration of husband and wife with old world sensibilities, as well as admiration for California’s terroir and sunny disposition. 

Their portfolio of wines has grown gradually and organically since 2007, beginning with a single ton of Aglianico. They are committed to making wine from conscientiously farmed organic or sustainable vineyards.

They are one of the few wineries to use Italian varieties of grapes simply because of the great diversity and unique character of the wines of that culture.

Arnot-Roberts was founded in Healdsburg in 2001 by childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. Beginning with one barrel of wine made in their basement, the winery started small and grew slowly by sourcing grapes from some of the most remarkable vineyards in California.

Single-vineyard wines are the core of the production as well as a few appellation bottlings that clearly speak of their individual upbringings.
