The picturesque McGah family vineyard estates are nestled just north of Oakville and border the Silverado Trail, in an area known for its unique terroir. Although Rutherford represents a relatively small appellation, its distinct microclimate and soils have made it home to some of the region’s most storied wineries. The soils from this upper east-side bench are a mix of red and brown gravelly loam with excellent drainage.
The Rutherford American Viticultural Area (AVA) provides the perfect amount of sun to ripen many Bordeaux varietals but also provides the cooler evenings necessary for uniform ripening and full maturity at harvest for several other interesting varietals.
Our Alsace and Heritage vineyards span over 65 acres in the heart of the Napa Valley and continue to be family owned and operated today under the amazing guidance and partnership with Garvey Vineyard Management and viticulturalist DeWitt Garlock.
