Summary

Set amidst the undulating landscapes of the Napa Valley, in the verdant region of Mt. Veeder, Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate is a symbol of viticultural magnificence and winemaking brilliance. Established in 1992, this pristine winery sprawls over an expansive 60-acre estate, engaging in the production of elegant Bordeaux-style wines that have earned a reputation for their refined craftsmanship and unmatched quality.

At Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate, the vineyards are rooted in soils rich in volcanic and sedimentary deposits, providing the optimum conditions for the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. With the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean tempering the warm Californian sun, the vineyard is blessed with a micro-climate conducive to the slow, steady maturation of the grapes. This results in wines marked by deep, complex flavors and a remarkable balance of acidity and tannins.

The winery itself is a testament to the Tesserons’ commitment to tradition and innovation. Within its walls, state-of-the-art technology blends seamlessly with age-old winemaking methods. The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels, allowing time and patience to weave the magic that characterizes a Tesseron wine.

Visitors to Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate are treated to a sensory extravaganza. The winery's Tuscan-inspired tasting room offers breathtaking views of the rolling vineyards, while guests savor the exquisite portfolio of wines. The aroma of the wines intermingling with the scent of the surrounding eucalyptus and pine trees creates an experience that is every bit as tantalizing as the wines themselves.

At Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate, wine is more than a beverage – it’s a labor of love, a tribute to the land, and a testament to the timeless allure of winemaking.
