Planted on axr rootstock in 1972, these sandy goldridge soils of an ancient seabed combined with volcanic ash deposits and pockets of tufa rocks and sloping bench-lands leading into the Russian River create a remarkably unique site that produces wines of intensity and great natural acidity.
Crown Point Vineyard in the Happy Canyon AVA is located 11 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and nestled between the Santa Ynez and San Rafael mountain ranges. The coastal fog of Santa Ynez protects this vineyard from the afternoon sun and the erosion from the San Rafael mountains integrates volcanic rock with the sandy soil creating the right balance of stress on the vines. It is a hot spot in a cool environment which gives the fruit the ability to ripen in phenolics making a wine with touches of licorice in the look and taste.
Nestled into the foothills west of Yountville, this vineyard is named for the gentle curves that mimic a woman laying upon her side. The feminine wines produced from this locale express vibrant acidity, bright red fruit, elegance and sophistication.

A nod to the legacy of Victor Ganzin, a pioneer in viticulture. Playful, versatile, bright and refreshing are perfect descriptors for this minerality entwined Sauvignon Blanc. A single sniff will conjure up the first days of summer, bumblebees in the orchard and yellow sun dresses. On the table or by itself it is delicate yet demands attention.
Chardonnay has a long and storied history in California. Once again taking the name of historic viticulturist Victor Ganzin, this Chardonnay binds traditional winemaking philosophy and the revolutionary technology we engage today. Even though this is a narrow path to tread, in making this wine we attempt the journey. Endeavoring to adhere to the lessons learned from our forerunners while demonstrating the innovative techniques that have become the staple of Napa Valley oenology.
As our winemaker Jean is from Switzerland, he has a special affinity for the native grape varieties of his homeland. This European grape has been transmuted through new world wine making techniques to become a medium bodied wine with brooding dark fruit components and a use of oak that complements the natural flourish of baking spice innate to this variety.
The ripe fruits of early autumn are abundantly distributed throughout this Pinot Noir, that hails from the captivating fogs of the Petaluma Gap. It will transport your senses to the tranquil Northern California forest surrounded by native berries, wild herbs and freshly fallen foliage.
An ode to the northern Rhone, our full-bodied and lush Syrah is grown and made purposefully. Dark berry and black pepper aromas combine perfectly with tantalizing notes of smoked bacon and the brightness of spring violets
Named for the men upon which the foundation of AXR was built, also known as the "FAB4": Kelly Trevethan, Mark Schratz, Don Van Laeken, and Winemaker/Partner Jean Hoefliger. This blend is constructed of grape varieties that shine in each vintage, while maintaining a remarkable consistency in style, year after year.
This blend, a new addition to our portfolio, mimics the traditional profile and varietal makeup of those in the "right bank" of Bordeaux. Bright natural acidity is beautifully balanced by the soft tannins and ripe blue fruit for which Merlot-driven blends are known. Notes of blueberry, blackberry, and vanilla pipe tobacco are elegantly layered throughout.
