Truly love this magical winery. A younger estate compares to others, nest in Pritchard Hill, along side with other iconic wineries around this Lake Hennessy. Their land, soil, climate makes all the difference.
It's a winding road to get up here but you will enjoy the gorgeous view up here. A spacious tasting room, lot of sunlight, airy, you feel like you are the only one here! Check out my photos, it speaks louder than my words :-)
Take a stroll down to the Vineyard, Mr. Nick our host was so graciously tour us around. We love Encosta their Bordeaux style red wine, often purchased at Vintage Wine Merchants on Santana Row, in San Jose, I finally got to try their estate Gandona red and their amazing Chardonnay, Burgundian style, so lovely.
You got to taste 4-5 wines, and if you decide to buy a few bottles to go, they may wave to fee depends on your purchase. $120 per person, you get 1 to 1.5 hours of the view for yourself, now that money can buy, worth every penny!
Check out their Port too, and the lovely rose, when you arrive.
This is 1 of my favorite visits ever in St. Helena, Napa Valley, and trust me I visit the valley here very often.
