Growing Conditions

The Three Palms Vineyard is legendary in Napa Valley. The soil of this valley-floor vineyard is full of volcanic cobblestones that have washed down from Dutch Henry Canyon in northern Napa Valley. The stones radiate heat and force the vines to struggle for water and nutrients, resulting in small-berried Cabernet Sauvignon clusters with exceptional color and flavor concentration. Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, also grown on this site, gave us the opportunity to blend other varieties for complexity while retaining a single-vineyard designation.
