Brendel likes to say that they have a secret ingredient: dirt. Their range of wines are made from some of the best sites in Napa’s most renowned regions, including the eastern side of Rutherford, the highest elevations of Howell Mountain, two diverse sites in St. Helena, and a steep plot in Oak Knoll. Each vineyard is chosen for

its quality and unique aptitude, with soil types ranging from volcanic to clay to bring out the best in each grape in their array of wines. It’s, as they put it, good dirt.

Brendel wines are produced exclusively by Brittany Sherwood, Director of Winemaking for Heitz Cellar. These guaranteed very high-quality wines are made with the same Heitz integrity in their own unique style. Named in honor of Leon Brendel, a mascot of “pre60s Napa Valley” wine, the wines are fresher, lighter, aged in neutral large casks and handcrafted for daily consumption. All wines are free of any unnecessary ingredients and made with organically farmed 100% Napa Valley fruit.

“At a time when the wine industry is grappling with attracting younger consumers—mainly Millennials— Brendel is leading the way.”

2019 Cooper’s Reed Cabernet Sauvignon

NAPA VALLEY

This wine is a nod to history, modeled after the post-prohibition era.

It’s aged in large vessels sealed with reeds, engrained with the wisdom of the past. A fresh take on a crowd-pleasing classic, this pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon evolves with each sip and gracefully unfolds on the palate. A slightly bashful beginning leads to an exuberant end. Having just one glass will require some serious restraint.

Burgess, an esteemed Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon producer for 50 years, is the culmination of 150 years of farming tradition on the vertiginous slopes of Howell Mountain.

the historic Stag’s Leap and Grgich wineries, Warren Winiarski and Mike Grgich each learned their trades at the Estate.

When Tom Burgess arrived in the Napa Valley, he began a quest to find the perfect vineyard site to yield the cabernet sauvignon wine he loved. Burgess acquired the Souverain estate and hired Bill Sorenson as his chief winemaker, a role he held for 41 vintages; one of the longest tenures in the history of the Napa Valley.

Tom Burgess established Burgess Cellars in 1972 at the base of Howell Mountain, where the first planting of the rugged and steep Sorenson Vineyard was cultivated in 1870. Lee Stewart later planted cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah grapes on Howell Mountain’s steep hillsides, naming his winery Souverain. Subsequent Napa Valley greats also tended the land; before starting

In 2020 the Burgess family passed the baton to Gaylon Lawrence, Jr., upholding a 150-year tradition of family ownership. Gaylon entrusted the legacy of the Howell Mountain vineyard to winemaker, Meghan Zobeck to honor the heritage of the Napa Valley through regenerative farming practices that will preserve the health of the vines and the “magic” of the wine from generation to generation.

From the Swiss-Italian ancestors who first planted the Sorenson Vineyard to the present day, the estate strives to produce wines of elegance and finesse that honor its deep roots in the Napa Valley.

Family owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs deep. It is widely considered a winery legend, having played a major role in shaping the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950’s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Sixty years of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking have maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.

In April 2018, Heitz Cellar entered an exciting new chapter as this rich legacy was passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match.

The wines are made with an unwavering dedication to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a responsibility to the sustainability of Napa Valley.

Heitz Cellar features prized estate vineyards planted in six of Napa Valley’s sub-appellations: Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll District, and Calistoga.

This allows for an incredible breadth of diversity in terroir, and the ability to craft wines that are a pure representation of place. A proud leader in agricultural stewardship, 100% of the vineyards at Heitz Cellar are grown certified CCOF organic, and all vineyards will become Demeter certified biodynamic by the end of 2023.

“Heitz Martha’s Vineyard is one of Napa’s iconic bottlings; the 1974 counts among the greatest wines in Napa history.”

– JAMES MOLESWORTH, WINE SPECTATOR

Perched atop Howell Mountain, Linda Falls Vineyard has a unique topography that allows it to deliver a distinct expression of mountain terroir in the classic Heitz style. Stretching above the fog at an average elevation of 1,500 feet, this area is known for welldrained, volcanic soils and a cooler climate which results in longer hang time. The vines are planted in narrow rows, deliberately positioned to capture the strongest rays of the summer sun. As the fruit matures, the dense spacing and abundant sunshine leads to a low yield of smaller berries with thick, deeply hued skins. PRESS

Hidden in the shadows of the Mayacamas mountains on the alluvial fan of western Oakville, Martha’s Vineyard continues to embody the pedigree of being named the first single vineyard designated wine in Napa Valley.

Martha’s Vineyard OAKVILLE

The Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon changed the course of Heitz Cellar and Napa Valley. It continues to be the platinum standard of California single vineyards, with its exclusive clone and long growing season that leads to softness and concentration of flavor.

“Heitz Martha’s Vineyard was the unquestioned best of the bunch, to this day considered among the greatest California Cabernets.”

– MITCH FRANK, WINE SPECTATOR

While many who visit the Napa Valley come to know the tapestry of vineyards and villages cradled between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains, few have an opportunity to explore the rugged hills and forested peaks of Howell Mountain.

It is there, on the precipitous slopes of Howell Mountain, that Ink Grade Estate has clung since 1873. Ascending to an elevation of 2,200 feet, the climb to Ink Grade is a feat unto itself. Early pioneers of the Napa Valley established ranches on the remote eastern side of Howell Mountain in the mid 1800’s. The vineyards here contain a unique energy — bound in layers of volcanic soil, latent and patiently waiting to be discovered, it is a terroir capable of producing concentrated, distinct wines.

There is incredible potential in this lofty site blanketed by 30-year-old vines grasping onto volcanic tufa soils.

The site exemplifies what makes Howell Mountain so special, with nearly every aspect and angle that one vineyard can possess displayed in a plethora of unique and dynamic parcels. This unique setting, with its wild nature, makes it possible to create something truly rare.

Today, the Ink Grade Estate Vineyard lies in the northeast corner of the Howell Mountain AVA in Napa Valley. The vines are planted on narrow terraces of earth cut into steep slopes.

To do so takes patience, reverence, and care: allowing the fruit to flourish through biodynamic farming, extended maceration, long élevage, and low intervention winemaking practices.

The intent is to capture the wild purity of the mountain and the structure of its rugged terrain in wines both elegant and robust.

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon

NAPA VALLEY

The varying and distinctive landscape of the vineyard parcels included in this Cabernet Sauvignon allows for something very complex to come together.

With balance across the board, each unique parcel occupies a distinct terrain, covering much of the Napa Valley with variations in slope and elevation. Incorporating a portion of Howell Mountain Cabernet, the blending notes of this wine are phenomenal with base notes, high notes, and incredible breadth. The wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon sourced between elevations of 870–1,900 feet and Merlot sourced at 1,850–2,200 feet.

NAPA VALLEY

Sourced from a steep east facing mountain slope, these Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted in 1996.

The well-drained volcanic soil forces the vines to dig deep into the bedrock for water. This exposure to the various layers of soils comprised of volcanic ash and rock renders a wine of incredible minerality and opulent complexity.

Vigilant farming is practiced to retain aromatics while preserving the natural acidity. Use of concrete, stainless steel and large oak vessels marry textures and weight, and lees enhance the saline quality while longer pressing builds structure.

Matt Taylor Wines is eponymous for a reason; these bottles contain an inimitable intersection of place and viewpoint. A Sonoma County native from three generations, Taylor has pursued wine knowledge across the world, studying and working in Cádiz, Burgundy, Hawkes Bay, Mendoza, Cafayate, the Russian River Valley and Napa Valley.

The hand-crafted wines from the West Sonoma Coast are produced from the Komorebi Vineyard, Japanese for “light filtered between trees”, perched just four miles from the Pacific Ocean.

Winemaker Matt Taylor’s understanding of his vineyards with their long, cool growing season informs his whole-cluster-fermented Pinot Noir and no-sulfuradded Chardonnay, and inspired him to embark on planting Loire varietals for the future. These handpainted bottles are defined by a poetic purity – they are a love letter to the land that only Taylor could write.

It all led him to the same conclusion: wine should be as thorough an expression of place as possible.

2017 Komorebi Pinot Noir WEST SONOMA COAST

The flagship Pinot Noir from Matt Taylor Wines is produced from the Komorebi Vineyard located in Occidental on the West Sonoma Coast region.

The proximity of the vineyard to the Pacific Ocean, and its cooler temperatures and early morning fog, is expressed in the wines by lower alcohol, a heightened acidity and freshness that makes its way into this 100% whole cluster Pinot Noir wine. Longer élevage in larger casks along with intentional bottle aging allow for minimal intervention and full expression of the site.

In 1943, Fred McCrea and his wife, Eleanor, stumbled onto a 168-acre plot of land hidden away on the slopes of Spring Mountain, which they purchased and later named Stony Hill Vineyard. With their love for French white wines combined with the ideal growing conditions of their property, the McCreas built the first post-prohibition winery in 1951 and released their inaugural vintage the following year. Stony Hill’s terroir and climate mirrored that of Burgundy, made of volcanic mountain soil with a limestone sub-layer and a northeast-facing hillside, making it perfect to craft their preferred style of Chardonnay.

Fred’s passing in 1977. Since then, Chelini carried on McCrea’s legacy and philosophy of winemaking for over four decades, maintaining the “big little winery” and selling primarily through a hand-selected list of buyers.

In 2020 the Lawrence Family became the next family to own the historic estate. Under the watchful eye of managing partner, Carlton McCoy Jr., Stony Hill has taken careful steps to preserve its legacy in the Napa Valley, keeping the integrity of the land and winemaking style intact. The estate vineyards continue to be farmed organically and focus on sustainable vineyard cultivation, while careful attention is put forth to honor the past and embrace the future of Stony Hill.

Over the years, the McCreas planted more European white varietals including Pinot Blanc, Johannesburg Riesling and later Gewurztraminer and Semillon. It wasn’t until 2009 that Stony Hill began producing red wine made of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

In 1972, Fred brought on Mike Chelini as his assistant winemaker and protégé, who would later take over after

Some would later refer to Stony Hill as “America’s greatest white wine estate.”

“Stony Hill Chardonnay [is] one of a kind, lean and subtle, yet full of energy and character... Stony Hill has been making small amounts of cabernet sauvignon since 2009 in a restrained, classical style that I love.”
