Producer Information
Amizetta Estate Winery is located in the eastern hills of St. Helena about a 18-20 minute drive from the Silverado Trail. Look for their blue winery sign at the junction of Silverado Trail and Howell Mountain Road. All visits are by appointment. Allow ample time to drive here as the roads are narrow and speed limits low. This secluded winery sits at an elevation of about 1000 feet and has great views of Lake Hennessy in the distance (which you can also see from Greenfield road leading down from their property. Founder Spencer Clark (who we originally met with years ago during our first visit to the property) is a guitarist for a Rock and Roll Band called Noble Rott which tours nationally. He continues to perform, compose and record music. The winery is named for Spencer’s wife Amizetta. Both grew up in farming families in Texas. As with music, Spencer was attracted to the artistic side of wine making – especially the renewal that happens each year in the vineyards and the chance to craft something new every year based on that particular vintage. Spencer and Amizetta purchased the property in 1979 and soon planted vines on these steep hillsides, in part from cuttings taken from Napa’s well-known Martha’s Vineyard. Following the vineyard development, a small winery was constructed with the advice of family friend, Justin Meyer (founder of Silver Oak Cellars). Their first commercial release was in 1983 and the winery was built in 1985. There is a saying that vintner Georges De LaTour (founder of Beaulieu Vineyard) may have used. The three ways you could lose money were through slow horses, fast women and owning hillside vineyards. We don’t know about the first two but how times of changed in regard to hillside vineyards. They are still costly to manage and maintain and are among some of Napa Valley’s most expensive vineyard real estate – but there is a reason for that. And it’s not about the views – although that certainly doesn’t hurt! As with other hillside vineyards in Napa Valley, production is extremely small – usually in the range of 1 to 2 tons per acre. The berries are small in size and very concentrated in flavor. Despite the already low natural vigor of the vines, vineyard workers usually drop some fruit with the idea to bring only the ripest most concentrated grapes into the winery. A cut out of the hillside directly behind the winery provides the perfect visual of the “soils” these grapes struggle to grow in. There is very little topsoil and beneath this are layers and layers of rock.
