Perched on Oakville’s western benchlands, Beckstoffer To Kalon is one of Napa Valley’s legendary vineyards. First planted in 1868 by Hamilton Crabb and named “To Kalon” (Greek for “highest beauty”), this iconic site was acquired by Andy Beckstoffer in 1993. Its gravelly Bale loam soils and ancient streambeds yield unparalleled concentration and elegance, producing some of the world’s most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon.
High atop Atlas Peak, within the Antica Vineyard, lies A18 – a cherished block that inspires our Chardonnay. This secluded parcel has been under winemaker Kale Anderson’s care since 2012, when he first discovered its potential during his tenure at Pahlmeyer. Over the years, he has come to know every slope and nuance of A18’s terrain, tending it with a devotion that deepens with each vintage.

The silhouette of a 1960s Volkswagen van adorns Vangone, our Cabernet Sauvignon that tells a story of perseverance on a rugged Napa hillside. The vineyard that births this wine was once deemed unreachable, perched beyond where any road led. It took the resolve of road-builder Ron Davidowski to carve a path up the slope—but only after a rusted-out VW bus blocking the way was hauled off, clearing the route and inspiring the vineyard’s whimsical name. With the van gone, possibility bloomed. Today, Vangone thrives as a tribute to audacity and vision, its every sip a reminder of the journey taken to cultivate excellence against the odds.

What came first—the chicken or the egg? In the tale of our Ritchie Chardonnay, the egg comes first. We ferment and age this wine in a rare 500-gallon concrete egg, an unconventional choice that nurtures the Chardonnay with gentle, continuous movement. This innovative vessel coaxes out the wine’s most elegant qualities—imparting a silken texture and harmonious balance that traditional barrels cannot replicate.

An ancient alchemy symbol for gold graces the label of Bourn, a tribute to the gilded legacy behind our Beckstoffer Bourn Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1857, William Bowers Bourn II planted these St. Helena vines; this visionary steward of the land also owned California’s largest gold mine of the era, the legendary Empire Mine. Such a rare convergence of vineyard and fortune weaves a rich tapestry that is captured in every bottle. Our Bourn Cabernet carries the essence of that golden heritage—refined, enduring, and luminous with history.
