 Altamura
Vineyards and Winery, established in 1985 by
Frank and Karen Altamura, is the only winery located in Wooden
Valley. Stag's Leap Winery, Pahlmeyer and Caymus purchase
grapes from this area, which is within the Napa Valley appellation,
yet Altamura is the first to capture Wooden Valley's special
characteristics in a bottling. Napa Valley natives Frank and
Karen have a decidedly hands-on approach to every step of
the growing and winemaking process. Thus, a natural production
limit is established and the wines reflect the Altamura's
deep commitment to reflecting the terroir of their Wooden
Valley Ranch.

 Silverado
Vineyards - The Stags Leap District is one of
the smallest, yet most renowned, wine growing regions in Napa
Valley. Here, Silverado Vineyards has been quietly producing
world-class wines from their state-of-the-art winery for over
20 years. With grapes sourced almost entirely from Silverado’s
family-owned estate vineyards, these hand-crafted wines are
created in small lots with extreme care. They express richness,
elegance and age-worthiness. Silverado wines are unique –
one-of-a-kind blends of location, philosophy and winemaking
style. The Mediterranean-style stone winery, established in
1981, stands on a knoll above the Silverado Trail in the heart
of the Stags Leap District. Silverado is a legendary name
from the early mining days. Today it symbolizes the Miller
family’s long term commitment to the future of Napa
Valley wine.

 Rocking
Horse is a small quality producer of Napa Valley
Ultra Premium red wines. When established in 1989, production
was limited to 600 cases. Born from the desire to produce
the absolute best wines from legendary growing regions, Jeff
and Nancy Doran began their quest moving quietly from a backyard
bottling line to their current 8,000 case production level.
Extreme care is taken to marry the proper vineyard site and
appellation with the appropriate varietals. Trademark wines
are typically “made in the vineyard” and picked
at optimum ripeness to ensure a silky full mouth feel and
dark crimson purple hue. Each wine is true to its varietal
character and offers many layers of complexity. Properly aged
wines will be rewarded by cellaring.

 ZD
Wines - The success of ZD Wines can only be attributed
to the dedication and winemaking philosophy of the de Leuze
family. As ZD Wines moves forward, the family continues to
grow. Norman and Rosa Lee's grandchildren represent the 4th
generation to contribute their time and skills to the winery.
In 1996 the de Leuze family purchased an historical, 33-acre
vineyard in Carneros. Formerly owned by Irish immigrant Patrick
Flanagan, the property is planted with 26 acres of Chardonnay.
Another seven acres was planted with Pinot Noir which produced
its first vintage in 1999. As the winery continues to grow,
so does the vision of ZD Wines.

 Robert
Biale Vineyards - The Biale family, immigrants
from Northern Italy, began growing grapes in Napa in the 1930’s
– Zinfandel only. Zinfandel, California’s adopted
grape, was widely planted by immigrants throughout the State’s
history as a highly flavorful red grape well-suited for the
climate. Each harvest, the Biale’s fruit was routinely
sold for bulk wine. For decades before the global demand for
Napa Valley wine, one winery, the Napa Valley Co-Op winery,
processed almost half of Napa’s grapes. Before big companies
moved in, most of Napa’s fruit was grown by local farmers
like the Biales. In fact, prunes and walnuts were as valuable
as grapes in those days, and the Biale farm produced its share
along with eggs and vegetables

 Atlas
Peak Vineyards - Atlas Peak. Howell Mountain.
Spring Mountain. Mount Veeder. The cornerstone mountain vineyard
sources behind the Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon wines. These
high-elevation appellations frame the Napa Valley and provide
ideal growing conditions for bold, complex and intense wines.
Our goal at Atlas Peak is to create wines that reflect their
origin. Mountain Cabernet is known for its lush, full-bodied
character with big, bold tannins, and deep, concentrated color.
The Mountain Cabernet Series includes five wines sourced from
four of the finest mountain appellations in Napa: Atlas Peak,
Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain.
