Pilcrow

We fell in love with the Napa Valley over two decades ago. And, much to the dismay of the cynical, we haven't gotten jaded. We have seen our joy and adoration of this valley and its characters deepen and become enriched over the years. We find inspiration in the valley's past and the wines made by the icons of the 50s, 60s and 70s like Lee Stewart, Nathan Fay, Bob Travers, Bob Sessions, Al Brounstein, and so many more.

And so, Pilcrow was brought forth in 2014 with our first harvest and it quickly became clear to us that it was destined to be more than merely a wine. Pilcrow became our promise to the world to celebrate the humanity of craftsmanship. To treasure the past. To take things slowly. To be a little bit analog.

It is through Pilcrow that we demonstrate our love of quiet wines that value grace and thoughtfulness and that amplify terroir. It is through Pilcrow that we ply the fine-wine ambition that drives us and makes the clear expression of terroir an absolute and an ideal. By looking for, caring for, and safeguarding the differentiating characteristics of each vineyard we stay alert, as vintners, to the exceptional possibilities of each wine.

We’d like to thank the many mentors and thoughtful vintners in both the new world and the old, like John Williams, Jean-Michel Comme, Jean-Nicolas Méo, Maria Teresa Mascarello, Marco DiGiulio, Keith Emerson and Toshiaki Wakayama that have helped define, challenge, and develop the wine itself. To all of these real-life heroes and the teachers-in-a-bottle we never got to meet (but kind of did) we thank you for enriching our lives and teaching us well.
