First Press

The family-owned vineyards of First Press Wine Cellars focuses on the two varietals which best exemplify California’s premier winegrowing region; a richly textured Cabernet Sauvignon and a brightly refreshing Chardonnay. These wines are handcrafted to express Napa Valley’s unique terroir, and First Press Wine Cellars produces exquisitely balanced, deeply textured wines that exemplify the best of Napa Valley.

Gentle Pacific breezes and chilling early-morning fogs provide relief from the intense Northern California sun, at once slowing the ripening process and concentrating natural flavours while preserving freshness. The clay and gravel valley floor and terraced hillsides stress the vines just enough to limit yields, nature’s way of ensuring quality over quantity.
