The vineyards
Oakville Ranch is the original mountain vineyard of the Oakville sub-appellation, a tiny district that produces some of Napa Valley’s most celebrated Cabernets. At 1,000 feet above the valley floor, Oakville Ranch produces fruit that speaks from the appellation's signature red volcanic soil with a mountain accent.

The vineyards
The Terrace block is 6 steep acres of Cabernet Sauvignon rising 400 vertical feet from the ranch house and original wine making facility to the beginning of the Plateau block. The Terrace block was planted in 2005.
The vineyards
The Ranch's largest block, Vista spans a 25-acre sloping, rocky, depression across the heart of the estate. The Vista block is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with about 5 acres of Cabernet Franc and a half an acre of Petit Verdot. Vista was planted in 2009, 2011 and 2014.
The vineyards
The 11-acre Summit block climbs the estate's western ridge to an elevation of 1,000 ft, the highest point on the property. The Summit's 9 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 acres of Cabernet Franc look west over the Oakville District and Napa Valley.
The vineyards
Plateau’s 9 acres of vines, replanted in 2013, are comprised of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vineyards
Planted in 2009, the Bobcat vineyard is a narrow 1.2-acre block of Chardonnay tucked into a rocky, dry creek bed between Vista and Summit. One of the coolest places on the property and named for the wild cats sometimes spotted there, the Bobcat block produces an enchanting mountain grown Chardonnay.
The vineyards
Robert's block is 9 acres that produces the estate's oldest vines: Zinfandel cherished by Robert Miner, as well as Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The inclined block reaches the estate's furthest south and east points. The critically acclaimed Robert's Cabernet Franc and grapes for the Field Blend are grown here.
The vineyards
The aptly named Deep V is a steep narrow dell, reaching northeast of the Vista block. The cool, shady valley will soon be home to plantings of new varietals for Oakville Ranch Vineyards.
