 Girard
Winery -The narrow, winding road up Sage Canyon
leads a traveler to one of Napa Valley's best kept secrets:
Pritchard Hill, where mountain wineries such as Bryant Family,
Colgin and Chappellet have carved a niche into the steep slopes.
It's here that you will also find Girard Winery, founded 32
years ago at the dawn of New Age winemaking in California.
Today, Girard farms 40 acres of vines, 18 of which are located
on Pritchard Hill. The picturesque vineyards surround a newley
renovated winery, where visitors can experience refined flavors
inside the rustic elegance of Girard's mountaintop cellars
and tasting room. On hillsides high above Napa Valley, Cabernet
Sauvignon is king. And Girard winemaker Marco DiGiulio lets
terroir - or the vineyard - determine his choice of varietals.
It's no wonder Girard's Cabernet ripens well on this rugged
terrain, with views that stretch clear across the valley.

 Joseph
Phelps Vineyards - Founded in 1972, Joseph Phelps
Vineyards is an independent, estate-based winery located outside
of St. Helena. Perched on a knoll in bucolic Spring Valley,
the graceful redwood winery overlooks vineyard-studded hills,
the town of St. Helena and the Mayacamas Mountains to the
west. After years of studying the complex relationship between
wine quality and place, and understanding the importance of
"terroir," Phelps has developed estate-owned vineyards
in the premiere growing regions of Stag's Leap, Rutherford,
Oakville, Oak Knoll and the eastern foothills of Napa. In
Sonoma County, an ambitious project was undertaken in 1999
to purchase land and develop vineyards along the western frontier
of the Sonoma Coast, and today Phelps has 80 acres of Pinot
Noir and 20 acres of Chardonnay planted in Freestone. A small
winery in the midst of the Freestone vineyards is currently
under construction.

 Markham
Vineyards - Bruce Markham arrived in the Napa
Valley almost 100 years after Laurent, also looking to start
a winery. Markham bought the Yountville vineyard in 1975,
the Calistoga vineyard in 1976, the old Laurent Winery in
1977 and the Oak Knoll vineyard in 1978. With almost 225 planted
acres and a winery, Bruce Markham founded Markham Vineyards
in 1978 and the old Laurent Winery was reborn. Markham focused
on Cabernet Sauvignon in its early days and introduced the
Markham Merlot with the 1980 vintage. Between 1978 to 1988
the winery's production increased from 3,500 cases to 20,000
The wine quality and praise from wine critics and consumers
increased as well.
