Since 1977, the family has acquired 550 acres of estate vineyards in four premier Sonoma and Napa appellations - Napa Valley, Chalk Hill, Carneros, and Alexander Valley. Each of these picture-perfect vineyards was years in the making. Among the family's 550-acres are 330-acres of cool and windswept Carneros vineyard, including a large percentage dedicated to classic Dijon and Bordeaux clones. The release of a new wine from these vines comes, not in response to market forces, but from the fact of perfect readiness. After years of careful attention to viticultural detail, we are proud to release a collection of Chardonnays defined by remarkable distinction.

Dinesh acquired a 52-acre wine country retreat located near the town of Calistoga in the upper Napa Valley. In 1982, he purchased another vineyard property that included a prohibition era winery located in Sonoma County's bucolic Alexander Valley. Shortly thereafter, he added another 92-acres in the Chalk Hill district, followed by the purchase of 330-acres in Carneros in 1994.

The purchase of vineyard land was only the beginning. To produce the finest grapes required a tremendous commitment of time and resources. Each newly acquired vineyard site was the perfect marriage between clonal selection and the terroir. Throughout this developmental stage, contracts for fruit harvested from the family's vineyards remain in great demand by a who's-who list of Napa Valley vintners.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
