For over fifty years, three generations of our family have been farming red wine grapes on our ranch located on the eastern slope of the Napa Valley overlooking the towns of Rutherford and St. Helena. The property touches both the Rutherford and St Helena appellations. The Howell Mountain appellation is a few hundred yards away. Our wines are a unique marriage of the characteristics of these renowned growing regions. We produce two estate grown claret style wines from our vineyards, where we grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot

Created entirely from our vineyards, Snowden Reserve consists of the best lots within our vineyards, and is characterized by balance and consistency with blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Snowden is aged in tight grain oak barrels from the northern forests of France. This is a wine that has exceptional depth, and is the pinacle of what our vineyard site has to offer.

The Ranch is our second label, and has taken the role of Lost Vineyard in our lineup.  This wine is made from estate fruit, and consists of lots within our vineyards that are specially designated for our second label, as well as wine that is declassified from the Reserve program. By design, this wine is ready to table sooner than our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and consists of the same blending grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

The Snowden Sauvignon Blanc consists of fruit that is sourced from some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley; Andy Beckstoffer's home vineyard in Rutherford. This wine is a wonderful example of the varietal, and shows virtue from both the old world and the new. While our Cabernet Sauvignon is unmistakably from California, the Sauvignon Blanc shows Diana's old world talents and has a weight and flavor profile that screams old world in a great vintage! Additionally there were 200 cases produced, so this wine's signature is quite impressionable.
