From the heart of Napa Valley comes a Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes and smells like currants and rich chocolates. Stratton Lummis is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon from the top vineyard estates in Oakville and Rutherford and Chardonnay from Carneros.

It took thirty years of friendship before we were allowed access to those vineyards. It also required that we sign a document guaranteeing that we will never reveal our vineyard source. It is these unique estates that allow us to deliver wines with distinct personalities. The estates that take their wine from these vineyards charge hundreds of dollars for a bottle of their wines. We named this wine after our Great-grandfathers. We bring it to you at a price that our Great-grandfathers would appreciate.

Owner Tim Dietenhofer a lover of French Burgundies and California Chardonnay, believed Stratton Lummis should make a creamy fruit concentrated Chardonnay. Not a fan of California's overwooded butter bombs of today, Tim convinced us to search Los Carneros for the perfect Chardonnay Estate. Stratton Lummis is proud to announce our first release of Chardonnay from the Los Carneros District. We believe this is the finest growing district for Chardonnay in the State of California.
