Edge Hill — The birthplace of a Napa legend

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Edge Hill is a historic vineyard, famously the original source of grapes for the iconic Château Montelena, whose 1976 Judgment of Paris victory transformed American wine history.

Today, Edge Hill continues this legacy with a focus on terroir purity and elegance. Planted at moderate elevation, the vineyard benefits from a temperate climate with wide temperature swings, ideal for slow, balanced ripening.

Philosophy and winemaking

Viticulture follows sustainable and careful practices, emphasizing soil and vine health. Hand harvesting ensures precise grape selection.

Wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged in French oak barrels—often partly new—to refine structure without overpowering fruit delicacy.

Wine style

Edge Hill wines are known for their elegance, precision, and balance. The reds, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, show concentration, silky tannins, and fresh acidity. The whites, rarer, offer mineral freshness and aromatic complexity.

Overall, the wines express Napa’s richness with a moderate, respectful approach, combining finesse and depth.

Signature cuvées

A historic vineyard with a future
