2016 | Edge Hill | St Helena Estate Mixed Whites Field Blend

The palate is powerful and complex. A wine of great finesse and an impressive length in the mouth.

Producer Information

Edge Hill is one of Napa’s Valley’s most historical and treasured winery properties. The original 1500 acres was settled by General Erasmus Keyes after serving in the Civil War (rising to Brigadier General and leading Keyes’s Brigade at the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861). He had a personal letter signed by Abraham Lincoln providing the deed to this particular property. After the Civil War General Keyes moved to San Francisco and then up to Napa where he built a gravity flow stone winery next to the hillsides of the Mayacamas mountains (just southwest of the present-day town of St. Helena). The winery was built in 1867 – also the year of their first vintage. Some early Napa Valley winery history is in order. Patchett Winery was the first winery built in the Napa Valley in the city of Napa in 1858 (founded by John Patchett who was in his 60’s at the time – born in England in 1797). That winery is no longer in existence. The next three wineries in Napa Valley were under construction in 1861, Charles Krug, Crane Cellars & David Fulton – and of those, Crane Cellars is no longer in business (although Beckstoffer owned Dr. Crane still carries his namesake) and Charles Krug while still family owned, isn’t under its original family ownership. And the original Schramsberg Winery was founded in 1862. General Keyes ran the winery for a number of years and oversaw the estate until 1872 when he sold it to another general, General Richard Heath who then sold it to William Scheffler in 1879. William worked at two of Napa’s most historical wineries Charles Krug (as a distiller) and at the nearby David Fulton Winery (for several years in the 1870s as their winemaker). In 1882 William built a brick and stone distillery on site (Distillery Number 209).
