Wild
Horse Valley
Tucked away in a remote southeastern corner of Napa Valley, Wild
Horse Valley is an atypical highland appellation. Dotted with
lakes, this small rugged Napa wine country district on the Solano
county line lies in Napa wine country’s eastern Vaca range.
Wild Horse Valley’s southerly position and close proximity
to the Napa River estuary ensure constant exposure to marine influence
resulting a cooler microclimate. The gravelly composition of the
Vaca range’s alluvial outpourings ensures well-drained soils
for the grapes of the Wild Horse Valley. The combination of climate
and soil in Wild Horse Valley makes for hard working, slow ripening
vines, of complex Chardonnay and Pinot Noir both bursting with
fruit.
