Producer Information

Rombauer Vineyards of Napa Valley produces wines from both estate and grower vineyards, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. The winery was sold to Gallo in 2023. The wide portfolio ranges from single-vineyard selections to regional blends. It includes three styles of dessert wine – a late-harvest Chardonnay, a fortified Zinfandel and a fortified blend of five varieties rarely found outside of Portugal: Souzao, Alvarelhao, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão and Bastardo.
The winery was established in 1980 in the Napa Valley by Joan and Koerner Rombauer. The first grapes came from grower vineyards in the Stags Leap District and the wine was produced at the Shafer Vineyards, as well as in Koerner's own garage. In 1982, the Rombauers built their own winery near the family estate in the St Helena hills. That year, they crushed their first Chardonnay grapes and, for the next 15 years, the winery acted as a start-up base for many of today's most well-known producers, including Spottswoode, Dominus and Merryvale. Up until the late 1980s, all the grapes that went into the production of Rombauer wine came from grower vineyards located around the Napa and Sonoma Valleys as well as Carneros. In 1988, Rombauer purchased its first estate vineyard in the St Helena hills, adjacent to the winery and tasting room. It was named Joan's Vineyard after its founder, and is planted to Sauvignon Blanc.
In 2002, Buchli Station Vineyard in Carneros was added to the portfolio and planted to Merlot and Chardonnay. By 2013, Rombauer owned vineyards in Atlas Peak, St Helena, Calistoga, the Sierra Foothills, Sonoma and Carneros. Joan Rombauer, who was also national sales director for Stag's Leap Wine Cellars for 12 years, died of pancreatic cancer in 2002 and Koerner, a former commercial pilot and pilot in the California National Guard, died in 2018. KR Rombauer and his sister Sheana added several further properties to the portfolio after their father's with the last acquisition in 2023, the year of the sale to Gallo. The operation also continues to source grapes from grower vineyards located around California.
