The Story

Winemakers: Philippe Melka Maayan Koschitzky
The Cabernet Franc Crabb's Black Burgundy Block 5 comes from the Hermosa Vineyard and a block that sits immediately adjacent to Harlan Estate.... Beautiful black cherry and currant fruits, notes of dried flowers, new leather, unsmoked tobacco, and spice, medium to full-bodied richness, and outstanding balance all characterize this terrific Cabernet Franc that's geared for drinking over the coming 10-12 years.

About The Vineyard House

Brand Story

The Vineyard House is a boutique wine estate located in Halter Valley, a small corner of western Oakville bounded by Harlan Estate, FUTO, and Promontory. Here at the top of the alluvial fan that is home to To Kalon, Jeremy Nickel set out to establish a worldclass wine estate. Today, with the help of vineyard manager Jim Barbour and the winemaking expertise of Atelier Melka, The Vineyard House is poised to enter a new era: one where the winery is recognized as one of the most elite producers in the Napa Valley.
