Priest Ranch Wines, Yountville, Napa Valley Part 2

“Priest Ranch is a family-owned brand producing premium wines from the Somerston Estate, a sprawling 1,682-acre ranch tucked into the Vaca mountains on the eastern edge of Napa Valley. Established in 2007, Priest Ranch Wines is named in honor of James Joshua, the Gold Rush-era prospector who originally settled the property in 1869. Today, their forward-thinking blends and dynamic varietal wines strive to honor this historic terroir by embodying the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit of Napa Valley pioneers. Exclusively estate-grown and bottled, winemaker Cody Hurd focuses on elevating the estate’s unique factors in each Priest Ranch bottling, relying on industry-leading technology in the vineyards and cellar to produce stunning proprietary blends.” “Located in the heart of Yountville, Priest Ranch offers a variety of tasting experiences daily. Priest Ranch’s innovative ethos in the vineyard and cellars dovetails with their tasting room offerings, with experiences featuring select current releases beginning at $50.”“Opened in 2023, The Kitchen at Priest Ranch (KPR) is a natural extension of Priest Ranch Wines’ philosophy that food and wine belong together—and in bold combinations. Located directly adjacent to the Yountville tasting room and boasting the city’s only rooftop tasting bar, The Kitchen at Priest Ranch serves exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a warm, casual atmosphere. Yountville’s only fast-casual concept, the menu features classic American cuisine with Midwestern influences, combining Napa’s bounty of local produce with the expertise of Executive Chef Dan Solomon.” Winemaker Cody Hurd and CEO Judd Wallenbrock stay with us continuing to gently pull the cork on all that is Priest Ranch Wines.
