Producer Information

Oakville Ranch is a rugged 370-acre estate, the original mountain vineyard of Napa Valley’s prestigious Oakville AVA. At 1,000 feet above the valley floor, the Oakville Ranch vineyards produce grapes that speak from the appellation’s signature red volcanic soil with a mountain accent. A place of dramatic beauty and dedication to organic farming, Oakville Ranch farms its hollows and terraces in a well-planned program of sustainability, crafting singular wines expressive of its distinctive terroir.The property purchased by Mary Miner and her late husband Bob in 1989 has gradually increased vineyard plantings to 68 acres of predominantly Bordeaux varietals, producing five wines and a total of 750 cases. Most of the ranch remains in its natural state, with indigenous grassy meadows, native woodlands and winding streams sustaining native flora and fauna.The farming of the vineyards is governed by a holistic organic approach, building and enriching the earth for the long term, cultivating vines that produce fruit of the highest quality.
