We were running late and got to Wm. Harrison about 20 minutes before they closed. Shelly was great! Greeted us and started serving us our tastings. The Pinot Noir was wonderful. The décor was wood and stone and hunting. There is a stuffed bear in the tasting room. Very woodsy feel. Another, smaller winery that has been in business for a very long time with great wines! Highly recommend

Do you like to travel back to the days of Wild Bill Hickcock and the Wild West? Look no further, this tiny gem of a winery/tasting room has a limited but extremely high quality portfolio, reasonably priced. The architecture is out of the wild west and has a stuffed grizzly bear and menancing wild boar heads mounted on the wall of the tasting room. Very friendly hostess, lay back, relaxing experience.

They not only have great wines but the family history is well worth just dropping in to get an intimate feel for the rich history which makes Napa such a worthwhile destination. a relief: No glamour, no glitz. Also a very comfortable covered porch with picnic tables to enjoy the close-up view of the adjacent Vaca's mountain range (scan the vertical landscape and see if you can find the polka-dotted cow on the hill....)

Enjoy!

Good wine and friendly staff. A bit more personal atmosphere than the larger vineyards. Recommended

About Winery and Wines

Our estate vineyard is nestled up against the eastern hills of the Valley. Overall, the Rutherford region encompasses the soils from three alluvial fans that are primarily gravelly, sandy and loamy. These fans are formed from shattered, well-bedded sandstone found on the hills above the valley. The soils at our vineyards are classified as Bear Creek Loam on the Napa Valley soil survey from 1935. Examining this map, one is struck at how few areas of this particular soil type there are present in the Napa Valley. Found 18 inches to 4 feet below the surface is a white layer of soil comprised of decomposed volcanic ash called tufa. We believe this rare soil combination results in wines we like to think of as having our own personal, unique identity.
