Earthshine Wines are a celebration of the incredible soils and microclimates of each unique vineyard site.
Game Farm Vineyard, Oakville
Sangiovese
Planted in rocky soil in the middle of the Napa Valley floor, this Oakville vineyard is known for producing world class Cabernet Sauvignon. There is a little known block that produces some of the best Sangiovese grapes in the world. We strongly believe that when made correctly, these grapes rival the best Brunellos of Tuscany. This vineyard has been farmed by the Vyborny family for decades and is a true Napa Valley gem.
Atlas Peak
Cabernet Sauvignon
This vineyard sits atop a dramatic mountain peak at 1200 feet elevation above the valley. Vines grow in rich bedrock soil, producing a low yielding grape crop which results in concentrated flavors and tannin structure.
Moone One Thousand Vines, Napa
Cabernet Sauvignon
Our wine mentor Mike Moone planted this incredible vineyard on the rocky slopes of the Eastern Napa Hills. This vineyard makes the classic Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley dreams are made of. To learn more about this ongoing project with Shawna and Mr. Moone, please click here.
Howell Mountain
Merlot
Grapes on Howell Mountain have the most beautiful view of any in the Napa Valley. Although several small microclimates exist within the mountain fog layers, all soil types are nutrient poor which stresses the vines, producing intense, varietally correct wines from small clusters and berries. We find this area gives us grapes to make Merlot that is unlike any other.
Carneros
Sparkling Wines
Cool climate growing conditions make this area perfect for elegant and naturally refreshing sparkling wines that will age with grace, but are more fun to drink now.
