High in the eastern hills of Napa Valley is an Estate shaped by elevation, time, and thoughtful observation. Across 1,682 acres, 230 acres are selectively planted with vines. And each vintage, every vine follows its own course, revealing a singular expression of the property.
The astrolabe that marks every bottle is more than an emblem. It is a symbol of how we navigate the Estate: guided by the land, shaped by the season, and open to what awaits discovery.

The Estate
Cultivated vineyards exist in harmony with the rugged, untamed landscape that surrounds them. With only 240 acres planted to vine, Somerston Estate is defined as much by what we preserve as by what we farm. Thoughtful stewardship and a deep respect for the land guide our approach, ensuring this remarkable place endures for generations to come.
THE Wines
From hundreds of individual vineyard blocks, we seek out the most compelling fruit of each vintage, narrowing our selection from vineyard to lot to barrel. Ultimately, only two wines emerge: one red and one white. Each is thoughtfully composed by our winemaker to capture the character of the vintage and bring the breadth of Somerston into a singular expression.
Our Philosophy
We believe the finest wines are discovered, not predetermined. Every vintage begins with careful observation and an intimate understanding of the land, allowing us to respond to the season in each vintage.
From the way we farm the individual vineyard block to the barrels we hand select, every decision is made with intention. It is our role to listen, interpret, and guide, allowing the character of the Estate and the uniqueness of each vintage to reveal themselves naturally.
