Boyd Family Vineyard
Beginning in 1998, when Stan Boyd purchased property on Big Ranch Road in Napa, he held a vision that very special wines and memories could be created in this location. Since then, more than 20,000 vines of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon have been planted, tended, nurtured, harvested, crushed, and coaxed into fine wine. The vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll Appellation of Napa Valley, which is known for its slightly cooler climate and clay soils. This environment produces ultra-premium Merlot and Syrah used in many of Napa Valley's most sought-after wines.
Today, the Boyd Family Vineyard sells more than 95 percent of its grapes to other premium wineries and produces very limited quantities of ultra-premium wines. These are produced using only the best materials and practices in search of creating wines that reflect a full-bodied style that express the best attributes of the land.
