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.
