Nancy’s Vineyard is in the heart of the Oak Knoll AVA of Napa Valley. The vines are all Clone 6 (ideal for the Napa Valley Floor) and range from 20 to 25 years in age. The vineyard is sustainably farmed using no animal products at any time (vegan) and lean on organic compounds such as Seaweed to avoid pesticides and other harmful chemicals.
OAK KNOLL DISTRICT AVA: The Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley AVA is at the southern end of the valley floor and its proximity to the Ocean results in a climate that is cooler and more moderate, which leads bold iconic Napa Valley Cabernets that tend to be richer than wines made from other regions in Napa Valley. All those who visit Nancy’s Vineyard, which was named after a pet cow that once lived on the property, note that it is a truly special place.

A warm, dry spring brought early bud break, helped with canopy vigor and berry size, and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set under sunny skies, resulting in notably healthy vines as fruit went through veraison and started ripening.
