Paratus Vineyard
Mount Veeder AVA
Only a stone’s throw from the renowned Mayacamas Winery, Paratus Vineyard is virtually hidden in the forest at 1,500 feet in the southern reaches of Mt. Veeder AVA. What began as a twelve-acre Chardonnay vineyard in 1981 was transformed in 2001 into a dry farmed, hand tended Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Steep terraces and volcanic, seabed soils produce low yields that create firmly structured, layered wines.
Lamoreaux Vineyard
Oak Knoll AVA
A pioneering California viticulturist, Joseph Osborne planted one of Napa Valley’s first vinifera vineyards on his Oak Knoll Ranch in the 1850’s. Osborne unfortunately passed away tragically in 1863. The Lamoreaux family purchased this property in 1949 and have revived Osborne’s viticultural lineage by developing several pristine vineyards on the original property situated amongst towering Valley Oaks at the foot of the Mayacamas. This highly sought after vineyard is farmed by a small handful of well-known Napa Valley wineries.
Angel’s Vista Vineyard
Napa Valley AVA
Visible from Alpha Omega winery, Angel’s Vista is stunningly situated at 1,000 feet in the Vaca Mountains on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley between Rutherford and Pritchard Hill with remarkable vistas of the valley floor below and Lake Hennessey to the east. Originally a cattle ranch, the property was developed by fifth generation Napa Valley viticulturist Larry Bettinelli over a span of twenty-five years. Expertly farmed rows of nine-year-old vines that run up and down the steep slopes that thrive in the rocky soils has quickly made this one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed vineyards.
