About Grgich Hills Estates:

Grgich treats each of their six different wines as a special child, carefully nurturing their development and character. The ride and joy is the Chardonnay, an elegant example of the varietal displaying rich flavors and exquisite balance. As a complement to the Chardonnay, they also produce a refreshingly crisp Fumé Blanc, a rich and spicy Zinfandel, a Cabernet Sauvignon with tremendous depth and complexity, a lush and richly fragrant Merlot, and a luscious dessert wine named “Violetta,” in honor of Mike Grgich's daughter, Violet.

While many other Napa wineries pursue strategies of expansion, Mike, along with his daughter, Violet, and his nephew, Ivo Jeramaz, prefer to stay small. Their aim, year after year, is to improve the quality of their vineyards and their wines, relying on Mike’s unique artistic and intuitive touch. This strategy continues to pay significant dividends.

About Redmon Wines:

Each year we produce no more than 1,000 cases of wine. Our signature Redmon Cabernet Sauvignon, is limited to about 300 cases each year. To put things in perspective, each year the Napa Valley as a whole produces millions cases!
 
We like making our wine in small quantities. Our hands do the work, not large production lines. For example, each fall we hand-sort the fruit from our vineyard. We pick out raisins and anything that is not the perfect fruit. We do this ourselves, and we do it twice!
