Our St. Andrews Vineyard in Oak Knoll is home to these vines imported from Friuli and planted in the 1990s. This wine is crafted with extended skin contact in concrete egg, stainless steel, and foudre, and has extreme concentration with bright floral characteristics. It’s named for the Cygnus constellation, and comes from Greek mythology where Zeus converted himself to a swan so he could seduce a woman.

First planted in 1870s, Sorenson Vineyard has served as the beating heart of Burgess for more than 150 years. Climbing 800-1,000 feet above sea level, this vineyard is carved into the western-facing slopes of Howell Mountain, overlooking the Napa Valley below. The landscape is dotted with large boulders on the “Konocti Series Volcanics” soil, a very densely compacted volcanic ash, as pines and redwoods surround the vineyard, cooled by morning fog during the harvest months.
