Greer Vineyard lies in the center of the acclaimed Rutherford Bench, sited adjacent to Inglenook Vineyards, which, together with Beaulieu Vineyards, produced Napa Valley’s (and America’s) first legendary wines. Today, the 3-acre Greer Vineyard’s illustrious next-vine and nearby neighbors include Scarecrow, Staglin, Phelps’ Insignia, and the historic Bella Oaks Vineyard.
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly magical wine, and I’m probably underrating this beauty by a point. All varietal from a site just next to Bella Oaks, it reveals a dense purple hue to go with sensational notes of crème de cassis, darker currants, loamy earth, iron, and espresso. Deep, full-bodied, and powerful, yet incredibly layered, flawlessly balanced, and light on its feet, it reminds me slightly of the 2013. It offers pleasure even today yet deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will evolve for 30 years in cold cellars. This is sensational juice.”
Aaron Pott has been Greer Wine’s winemaker from its conception in 2007. He holds degrees from UC Davis and the University of Burgundy and the rare distinction for an American of having served as the winemaker at a Premier Grand Cru Classé right bank Bordeaux Château: Troplong-Mondot. As a sought-after consultant, Aaron's touch graces an impressive portfolio of Napa Valley wines, championing organic practices and terroir-driven expression.
We produce one wine only, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced solely from the family vineyard, planted to 101-14 rootstock and three select clones: clone 4, the See clone, and the Wiemer clone. Our inaugural vintage was in 2007, released in August 2011.
