As we welcome the New Year, it’s the perfect opportunity to embrace new beginnings and the adventurous spirit, especially when it comes to wine. This year, why not set your intentions to venture into uncharted territory with your wine choices? The Priest Ranch portfolio offers a tantalizing array of wines that invite you to explore new flavors, styles, and experiences as you ring in the year ahead. 

 

Wine is more than just a drink; “wine is bottled poetry” as Robert Lewis Stevenson has said about Napa Valley wines. Each vintage speaks of the terroir in which it was grown, the hands that crafted it, and the passion behind every sip. Priest Ranch wines embody this spirit of adventure and passion to create the best wine our 1,682-acre Estate can grow. With a commitment to producing exquisite, high-quality wines from grapes nurtured in the heart of California’s Napa Valley, these selections transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences.

 

As you contemplate the best ways to celebrate the New Year, consider how wine can elevate your festivities. Picture a cozy gathering with friends or a festive dinner with family, where laughter fills the air and the clinking of glasses resonates like a joyful melody. Imagine pouring a glass of Priest Ranch wine and watching all of your loved ones you’ve shared the bottle with take in the beautiful nuances and complexities you may know and love or are discovering together. The beauty of our wines goes beyond just a pleasant libation; they are gateways to exploration, inspiring conversations, and creating lasting memories.

 

Among the diverse Priest Ranch offerings, each bottle tells its own story and invites your viticurious side to come out. Perhaps you’d like to try a velvety, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon with hints of dark chocolate and a finish that lingers like an unforgettable experience. Much like our new James Joshua Red Wine named after our Estate’s original founder, James Joshua Priest, an adventurous pioneer who went searching for gold but instead struck gold with our beautiful property. Take on his pioneering spirit and explore with our wines! The wine lovers in your circle will appreciate the nuanced flavors and remarkable craftsmanship.

 

Wines from the Priest Ranch portfolio boast an adventurous spirit not just in taste but also in the very essence of our production. Our Estate winery is committed to sustainable farming practices that respect the land, showcasing a deep connection to nature and dependence on Mother Earth.
