How this Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend manages to be softly delicious, yet structurally brilliant is its mystery and art. The winemaker took grapes from St. Helena, Howell Mountain, Rutherford and Yountville and blended them seamlessly. It’s one of the most opulent wines of the vintage with blackberry, currant and mineral flavors set like jewels in a crown of tannins.

Wine Spectator
Intense and vibrant, with expressive red and dark berry, spice, raspberry and licorice scents that fan out on the palate, picking up a hint of espresso and ending with firm, ripe tannins. Drink now through 2023

TVH gets its name from a charming little farmhouse situated in a picturesque valley in Oakville, California. Known as The Vineyard House, the home was built in 1853 by William Baldridge, one of Napa's most prominent citizens in the 19th century. It was bestowed to Jeremy by Gil when he passed away in 2003.
TVH has received great reviews from wine publications and master sommeliers. Jeremy is proud to continue the family tradition of great winemaking. Here's to the things we do in our lives that would make our fathers proud!
One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
