Red Wine by Franciscan Estate from Napa Valley, California. Our vineyards of classic Bordeaux varietals were planted in Oakville in 1972, an ideal location in the heart of the Napa Valley that experiences cooling marine influences while still receiving plenty of sun and heat. Covering 240 acres of prime Oakville land, the location of our vineyards, combined with dry-farming techniques, ensures the vines produce smaller, concentrated fruit. This builds wine of quality structure and body, showing vibrancy of fruit and suppleness of texture. Our Lot 240 offering for Premiere Napa Valley comes from these Oakville vineyards, in our signature style of small-lot blending.
