Our elevations – ranging between 1,100 and 1,750 feet – make Stagecoach the largest south-facing mountain vineyard in Napa. Our mountain terrain is usually above the fog which gives us a longer ripening season, with the rockiest soils and minerality to create distinct aromas and flavors that can only be found in the unique terroir at Stagecoach Vineyard.

The vineyard covers an enormous number of soil depths, soil types, and micro-climates, with 16 different varietals planted in 204 individual blocks being purchased by 80+ different wineries. Given the quality level that is expected from each of our clients, it's really more like farming 205 small vineyards than a single large one. Stagecoach is Cabernet Sauvignon-focused, with over half of the vines planted to 22 Cabernet clones.

Just look at the grapes themselves. Stagecoach consistently produces an amazing color to its fruit – largely due to the elevation above the fog layer, which exposes the vineyard to increased sunlight throughout the year. As a result, our fruit is dominated by classic "mountainside" characteristics, with big tannins and extremely complex flavors.
