Priest Ranch | Wine Tasting Details

Why should you visit Priest Ranch for a wine tasting experience?

Priest Ranch Wines is a Napa Valley winery where their big goal is to express the qualities of the soil that the grapes are grown in. They take a minimalist approach in their winemaking and create their wines out of grapes that are grown together in blocks. They adapt the wine growing tactics of each block to best bring out the flavor of each group of grapes. Plus, they are growing in Yountville, a sunny, rocky place ideal for viticulture. The result is Napa Valley wines known for the boldness and intense richness.

Needless to say, they want to share their wines in as personal a way as possible. They have a charming tasting room in the heart of Yountville, where you will find a mission-style building. Inside is a relaxed atmosphere, supplemented by leather bar stools, full windows, and polished wood furniture. The polished wood floor makes for easy standing as you chat with the sommeliers at the driftwood bar.

And they strive to make the experience of imbibing their wines unique. For instance, they have a tasting that involves pairing 5 wines with bacon. They will also walk you through their blending process for creating their flagship Bordeaux blend, Coach Gun wine. They are particularly proud of this wine, believing that it is perfectly balanced, regardless of vintage. Of course, they also have a chocolate pairing and a cheese pairing, but the bacon and the blend really stand out.

Priest Ranch strives to create wines and fun that can be only found in their tasting room. Next time you are in Yountville, come and see if they succeed.
