Winery Notes: Dominari is grown in the Atlas Peak Appellation of Napa Valley. The 9th leaf vines are grown by Gaudeamus Vineyards. Located on Napa's Highest mountain range, the vines live on gentle rolling countryside sheltered by mountains and tall oaks. This vineyard produces less than two tons per acre of fruit.

The Schutz family owns both the vineyards and the winery and have a commitment to excellence. read more...
