Oakview Vineyard

These Oakville district vineyards are carefully farmed using custom practices to provide small production wineries with quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Site Characteristics:

• Located near the Vaca Range, soils are deep alluvial clay loams

• Despite deep rooting, minimal irrigations and cover cropping make vines moderately vigorous

• Influenced somewhat by bay fog, afternoons are reliably warm and sunny

• Ultra-premium fruit result from this partnership of two great winegrowing families: the Nord’s and the Sangiacomo’s

Sustainability:

• Soils are protected by no-till cover crops

• Compost is applied to add organic matter and slowly released nutrients

• Frost protection sprinkler heads use low-flow nozzles for water conservation

• Employees receive health counseling at an annual health fair
