Oakville’s terroir, or more easily understood as the combination of climate, plant and soil, is undeniably the best in not only Napa Valley, but the best in all North America for the expression in the Bordeaux varieties raised there.  At the north border of Oakville sits our chosen site, the Renteria 360 Vineyard, both owned and operated by the talented vineyard manager, Oscar Renteria.  It is a gravel and loam soil type on the Valley floor, that while well drained, requires very little water allowing it to follow nature’s lead quite well.  The vineyard was planted in the early 2000’s and today is producing wines that are truly world class.  Brands sharing in the spoils from 360 include Chappellet, Sojurn, B Cellars, Frank Family, Venge, and Darioush to name a few.

2013 Bacigalupi Chardonnay: captures the essence of Chardonnay from the Bacigalupi Vineyards on the west side of the Russian River. Located just south of Healdsburg and northwest of Windsor, these vineyards were made famous in 1976 by Mike Grgich when he was Winemaker at Chateau Montelena. The fruit for the prized Chardonnay was harvested from the Bacigalupi Vineyards. The resulting wine won the White Wine Competition at the Judgment of Paris in 1976. (The competition that turned the world of wine upside down. Check out the Alan Rickman movie, “Bottle Shock.”).  That vineyard is still producing world class wines. The 2013 Entrepreneur Wines Chardonnay reveals the essence of the still resident understated winemaking power of the fruit from this vineyard. (56 cases produced)

2016 Bacigalupi Chardonnay: With its light yellow straw hue and inviting approach, the 2016 Entrepreneur Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay belies deep roots and surprising complexity.  But, not so surprising considering the vineyard: the Bacigalupi family has been growing world-class Chardonnay in the Russian River Valley for three generations. Identified by its etherial perfume of light honey, dried stone fruit, barrel vanillin, and a touch of toffee, this vintage stands with the rest. Gentle and coating on the palate, with a tropical twist of citrus swirling at the finish.  (80 cases produced)
