Brand Napa Valley

Atop Pritchard Hill's volcanic slopes, Brand Napa Valley transforms just 15 acres of meticulously farmed vineyard into some of Napa's most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon. This 110-acre estate represents the pinnacle of precision winemaking, where elevation meets excellence at altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 feet.

Under the visionary leadership of winemaker Joe Harden, Brand Napa Valley has established itself as a benchmark for terroir-driven luxury wines that capture the raw power and elegance of Pritchard Hill's distinctive volcanic terroir.

The estate's founding philosophy centers on minimal intervention and maximum expression, allowing the unique characteristics of each vineyard block to shine through in every bottle. Harden's meticulous approach involves managing 16 individual vineyard blocks across three distinct elevations, each featuring carefully selected rootstocks and clonal selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

The lowest section at 1,200 feet sits on Hambright soil, while the middle Aiken loam block proves ideal for Cabernet Franc expression. The highest, rockiest section at 1,400 feet is dedicated entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon, producing grapes of extraordinary concentration and complexity. This elevation-based approach allows Brand to craft wines that showcase the full spectrum of Pritchard Hill's terroir in their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and limited-production blends.

The winemaking philosophy emphasizes innovation within tradition, utilizing both cutting-edge technology and time-honored techniques to create investment-grade wines that consistently earn critical acclaim. Production remains deliberately limited, ensuring each vintage maintains the exclusivity and quality that collectors demand.

The Brand Napa Valley experience extends far beyond the cellar, featuring striking contemporary architecture that frames panoramic valley views.

The estate offers highly curated, by-appointment-only tastings that provide intimate access to both current releases and library wines. These exclusive experiences include private vineyard tours across the three elevation zones, allowing guests to understand how terroir translates directly into the glass.

The tasting room's modern design creates a sophisticated backdrop for discovering these ultra-premium wines, while the knowledgeable hospitality team ensures each visit becomes a memorable journey through Pritchard Hill's unique terroir. For wine enthusiasts seeking the ultimate expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Brand Napa Valley delivers an unparalleled combination of terroir, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.
