The Antinori family has been making wine for a long time—as in over 600 years long and across 26 generations. When Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 to discover the Americas, the Antinoris had already been making wine for 107 years. The Antinori estate is located within Napa Valley's Atlas Peak Appellation--it's the highest point in the region rising 2,663 feet above the valley floor--from which they produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Chardonnay wines.

Palmaz Vineyards' winemaking and aging takes place within the living rock of Mount George, in a flawlessly engineered maze of tunnels and lofty domes. The height of the wine cave is equivalent to an 18-story building, providing the vertical range needed for true gravity-flow winemaking. Thus, the wine is never subjected to the violent agitation of pumping, which can change the wine’s intra-molecular structure. This gentle treatment allows the finest nuances of flavor to develop naturally—the result is a complex, elegant wine.

Women For WineSense founding member, Michaela Rodeno, invites you to visit Rodeno Vineyards in Napa's Oakville appellation, where her family grows the Tuscan-varietal, Sangiovese.  The Rodeno clone was the first Sangiovese planted in Napa Valley in 1985.  Farmed in the Rodeno family vineyard, on a well-drained mountain site, it yields only 1-2 tons per acre, resulting in wines that are consistently full-bodied, with good intensity and color.

The choice to only make Cabernet Sauvignon led to important winemakeing decisions that would ultimately define Silver Oak.  First, to use American oak barrels.  Second, to age the wine for nearly 5 years before releasing it. Visit the Oakville estate of Silver Oak, whose mission in producing Cabernet is disarmingly simple: to make delicious wines that people love.
