Located in the mountains just east of the town of Napa is the coolest growing area of the Napa Valley, Wild Horse Valley. Here, the Heron Lake Vineyard was established in 1980, nestled in just below the ridgeline at an elevation of about 1200 feet. Our first vintage of premium wines under the Heron Lake label was produced in 1985, and we began bottling our reserve wines under the Miss Olivia Brion label in 2003.
We have made wines from this exceptional vineyard since 1985. Through all, we’ve adhered to a commitment to low yields, intense fruit flavors, and the gentle hands-on processing of the harvested fruit. We intend to keep our vintages small and “estate bottled.” Many years of experiment and experience have shown us how to produce the very best fruit from our hillside vines.

Winemaker: David Mahaffey

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
