AZUR WINES, NAPA VALLEY

Elan Fayard didn’t just come back from France with stories — she came back with a vision. After studying and working alongside renowned vintners in Bordeaux and Provence, she launched Azur with the goal of crafting wines that embody both French elegance and California vitality. Her flagship rosé, made in the Provencal style, has become a cult favorite for its balance and finesse. Each vintage reflects a deep commitment to terroir, restraint, and the belief that great wine should evoke a sense of place — and maybe a memory or two.

CAKEBREAD CELLARS, NAPA VALLEY

What began with a camera and a chance conversation has become one of Napa’s most respected family-run wineries. In 1972, Jack and Dolores Cakebread purchased a plot of land in Rutherford with a vision for something lasting. Today, Cakebread Cellars is best known for its elegant Chardonnay and crisp Sauvignon Blanc, both of which grace wine lists from coast to coast. With 11 estate vineyards across Napa’s top appellations, plus a cool-climate plot in Anderson Valley, Cakebread’s commitment to sustainable and organic farming reflects a belief that great wine begins in the vineyard — and it shows in every sip.

CHATEAU MONTELENA, NAPA VALLEY

You can’t tell the story of American wine without Chateau Montelena. The historic Calistoga estate cemented its place in vinous lore when its 1973 Chardonnay triumphed over French competitors at the 1976 Judgment of Paris — a moment immortalized in the Smithsonian and dramatized in Bottle Shock. While that Chardonnay remains a classic, today’s spotlight belongs to their structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. Equal parts legacy and innovation, Montelena continues to set the standard for California winemaking — without ever chasing trends.

DARIOUSH, NAPA VALLEY

Darioush isn’t just a winery — it’s a statement. Founded by Iranian-born entrepreneur Darioush Khaledi, this Southern Napa Valley estate blends old-world grandeur with new-world precision. With 120 acres stretching from Mount Veeder to Oak Knoll and the shadow of Stag’s Leap, the vineyard’s varied terrain yields wines with remarkable depth and character. Expect Bordeaux-style reds that are bold yet polished, each one a reflection of Darioush’s belief that wine should be both a sensory and cultural experience. The winery itself? A marble-and-columned homage to ancient Persia — dramatic, yes, but wholly fitting.

EMERITUS VINEYARDS, SONOMA

Pinot lovers, take note: this is where passion and pedigree meet. Emeritus Vineyards was founded in 1999 by Brice Cutrer Jones, who made his mark with Sonoma-Cutrer before setting his sights on crafting the country’s finest Pinot Noir. The result? A grand cru-inspired program rooted in dry-farming practices and Sonoma’s cool-climate terroir. With 140 acres between Hallberg Ranch in Russian River Valley and Pinot Hill on the Sonoma Coast, Emeritus is all about elegance without artifice. Today, Brice’s daughter, Mari Jones, carries the torch alongside Winemaker Keith Hammond and Vineyard Manager Kirk Lokka. The wines? Graceful, nuanced, and unmistakably Sonoma.

FAR NIENTE, NAPA VALLEY

FAUST, NAPA VALLEY

In 1998, the Huneeus family discovered a hidden gem in Coombsville, Napa’s newest AVA. The land, a former dairy farm, had never been planted, but its potential was undeniable. With its diverse soils, varying elevations, and perfect exposure, the property had all the attributes necessary for creating exceptional wines. Faust was born out of a passion to showcase Napa Valley’s most noble grape — Cabernet Sauvignon. Known for its rich, full-bodied, and decadently buttery profile, Faust wines capture the essence of Napa’s best terroirs, making every sip a tribute to the land’s unmatched potential.

FLOWERS, SONOMA

Nearly three decades ago, Joan and Walt Flowers set out to transform the rugged coastal ridges of the Sonoma Coast into a haven for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their vision was clear: to craft wines that reflect the wild beauty and unique character of this extreme, windswept landscape. By farming responsibly and using minimal intervention, Flowers produces wines that are both pure and expressive, capturing the very essence of Sonoma’s spirit. With hand-harvested grapes and 100 percent native fermentation, Flowers’ wines stand as a testament to the enduring passion and dedication of their founders, offering a true taste of the Sonoma Coast.

NICKEL & NICKEL, NAPA VALLEY 

In Napa Valley, where the best wines are often a reflection of the land, Nickel & Nickel stands as a quiet ambassador for single-vineyard, 100-percent varietal wines. The winery’s focus on Cabernet Sauvignon is a true homage to Napa’s diverse terroir.

PINEA WINE, SPAIN

In the storied Ribera del Duero, where the landscape whispers the legacy of Spain’s most celebrated wines, PINEA is making its mark. Founded by friends Vicente Pliego and Hugo T. Del Pozzo, the winery is dedicated to producing wines that stand at the pinnacle of quality. Their focus on 100% Tempranillo sees every grape handpicked with care, ensuring that only the best fruit makes its way into the bottle. The result? A wine that is as bold as it is refined, capturing the essence of Ribera del Duero in each sip — a tribute to the land, the craft, and the spirit of Spain itself.

QUINTESSA, NAPA VALLEY

Nestled in the heart of Rutherford, Quintessa’s 280-acre estate is a masterclass in diversity. The land’s varied geology, exposure, and microclimates provide the ideal canvas for creating exceptional wine. The Huneeus family, captivated by this unique site, envisioned it as a future great wine estate. Today, Quintessa’s 160 acres of planted vines — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère — are meticulously farmed using organic and biodynamic methods across 26 vineyard blocks. The result? A wine that’s as much about the land as it is about the craft, reflecting the essence of its terroir with every bottle.

TAMBER BEY, NAPA VALLEY

In 1999, vintner Barry Waitte embarked on a journey to celebrate the distinctiveness of each vineyard terroir when he acquired his first estate vineyard. Rather than creating blends from multiple sites, Waitte’s vision was to bottle unique expressions from each individual vineyard. This commitment to terroir has become the hallmark of Tamber Bey’s winemaking philosophy. Over the years, Waitte has forged lasting partnerships with growers across Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Santa Barbara County, and Lake County. Today, Tamber Bey presents a collection of nine distinct bottlings from its two estate vineyards, alongside a diverse portfolio of vineyard-designated wines that capture the essence of California’s renowned wine regions.
