Our Home Vineyard is, literally, surrounding
our home. It is located in the foothills of the Mayacamas
Mountains; the mountains that form the western border of the Napa
Valley. The vineyard straddles the line between the Oak Knoll
District and the Mount Veeder appellation just southwest of
Yountville. The BCV Home Vineyard vines are predominantly Cabernet
Sauvignon, but there are also small blocks of Cabernet Franc, and
Petit Verdot.
For diversity of fruit and complexity in the
wine we also source grapes from a very high quality vineyards in
Rutherford, Calistoga and Atlas Peak. These vineyards are farmed
according to our strict specifications.
As you can see we use a blend of hillside grapes for power and
structure, and valley floor grapes, from the tenderloin of cabernet
territory, for complexity and density of flavor. I've always loved
mountain cabernets and valley floor cabernets equally well for
different reasons, but it was always my thought to combine the best
attributes of both into one wine.
