Gagnon-Kennedy Vineyards

rc and Michael approach this wine as the symphony made up from our historic single vineyards. When looking at Napa Valley as a whole, the terroir is wildly diverse-from warm to cool, mountain to valley floor. It’s our goal for this wine to be a Gagnon-Kennedy interpretation of the valley in totality. It includes our home vineyard, the Caldwell Vineyard in Coombsvile, plus Beckstoffer Georges III in Rutherford, Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper, the Old Federal Block in Oakville and Samuel Brannan in Calistoga. Each barrel l that goes into the Cuvée selected first–drawing our inspiration from Krug Champagne’s masterful Grande Cuvée.

The goal of Gagnon-Kennedy is simply to explore the vineyards that stood out as prime to the earliest settlers of Napa Valley, to express them uniquely and purely, and to provide an experience in the valley unlike any other.
