Knighton Family Vineyards

Mountain-top winery with rugged vineyard views and rich history

Best known for: Premier Cabernet Sauvignon and unique mountain-side terroir

Situated in the far northeastern corner of Napa Valley, Knighton Family Vineyards is perched on the steep slopes of Mt. St. Helena, at an elevation of 1000 to 1500 feet above the valley floor.

The vineyard is accessed via a challenging journey through the Palisades Range, leading to Jericho Canyon, a prime location for high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon.

The unique volcanic soils, optimal exposure, and mountain climate create an unparalleled growing environment. Managed by Piña Vineyard Management, the vineyard is part of a legacy that includes renowned vintners such as Jericho Canyon Vineyards and Ramey Cellars.

The winery is committed to producing wines that reflect the intensity and quality of their vineyard, often delaying releases until the wines are more approachable.
