The Famous Transcontinental Railway was completed in 1869, bringing people from East to West and into the Napa Valley.
The train was affectionally known as the ‘Iron Horse’.
With the train came a wealth of new species of flora, fauna, and vines (previously unknown to the West) andan eclectic mix of different characters who came to tend to the land where grapes of this winery grow to this very day.
The facility is still run buy the descendants of these quirky misfit – the vines tended by their great, great grandchildren.
We named this collection of wines ‘Iron Horse’ to tell the story of the Estate’s past. The design describes the rich, complex flavours of the liquid and the generations of care that have gone into the land and the vines.
