About Us / Jericho Canyon Vineyard History:

Jericho Canyon is a rugged area at the northeast end of the Napa Valley in the Mt. St. Helena foothills. It benefits from very hot summer days moderated by cool nights and chilly mornings. The soils are a volcanic Boomer clay loam and gravelly loam, which provide excellent drainage while reducing the yields. We divided the approximately 40 acre vineyard into 24 blocks, each with its own unique characteristics and idiosyncrasies. By maintaining a permanent cover crop, we are able to prevent erosion, attract beneficial insects, and avoid the use of pesticides.
