Somerston Wine Co. was founded by Allan Chapman and Craig Becker in 2008. Allan purchased the historic Priest Ranch in 2004, later acquiring Elder Valley in the mountains east of Rutherford to create one contiguous property, the Somerston Ranch, in 2006. Somerston opened a downtown Yountville tasting room in June 2010 and in mid 2011, a gourmet grocery will open as a virtual “window on the Somerston Ranch”, featuring Somerston wines, cheese and other local food products. While each site offers unique experiences tailored to their locations- one in town, the other in the country-both the tasting room in downtown Yountville and the ranch in the hills east of Lake Hennessey serve as destinations focused on great wines that convey the history, the beauty and the holistic farming philosophy of Somerston.

Somerston Wine Co. encompasses three distinct wine brands: Somerston, Priest Ranch and Highflyer. Somerston wines are selected from premier blocks on the Somerston estate. These include a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($120), a red Bordeaux blend ($90), and a Sauvignon Blanc ($40), each of which are produced in extremely limited quantities using classic winemaking practices to achieve the best expression of complexity, depth, structure and long-term aging potential. Priest Ranch wines represent the diversity of the Somerston property: Cabernet Sauvignon ($38), Petite Sirah ($38), Zinfandel ($38) and Sauvignon Blanc ($24). Each exhibits the distinctiveness of Somerston’s microclimates with an intensely rich quality. Highflyer wines are named for winemaker Craig Becker’s love of flying and include an eclectic line-up of varietals from some of the best vineyard sites throughout California. Wines in the Highflyer portfolio include Viogner ($17), Grenache Blanc ($19), Pinot Noir ($38), Somerston Syrah ($48), Vivio Syrah ($48) and a red blend called “Centerline” ($28). The premium vineyard sources for these wines are from Somerston’s own vineyards, as well as vineyards in Bennett Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez.
