The Story Behind Red Thread Wines

Nestled on the rugged slopes of Howell Mountain, Red Thread Wines is a true testament to the artistry and passion that defines Napa Valley winemaking. Founded with a vision to create wines that tell a story, the winery draws inspiration from the very land it cultivates. The vineyard is planted on volcanic soils, which impart a unique character to the grapes, allowing for the production of high-quality wines that reflect the essence of their mountain origin.
The name 'Red Thread' signifies the connection between the vineyard, the winemakers, and the stories that unfold with each bottle. This compelling narrative is woven through the meticulous process of crafting wines that not only tantalize the palate but also evoke a sense of place and identity. Each varietal is a chapter in the story, showcasing the dedication and expertise of the team behind the scenes.
As you step onto the property, you are greeted by breathtaking views and an intimate atmosphere that invites exploration. Red Thread Wines has embraced the philosophy of quality over quantity, focusing on small production runs that ensure each bottle is crafted to perfection, allowing wine enthusiasts to savor something truly special.
Wines Offered at Red Thread
Red Thread Wines features a selection of varietals that cater to diverse palates, with a particular focus on its acclaimed Red Blend and Rosé. The Red Blend, a harmonious amalgamation of carefully selected grapes, showcases deep flavors and a complexity that reflects the vineyard’s unique terroir. This wine is an embodiment of what Howell Mountain has to offer, with bold tannins and rich fruit flavors that linger beautifully on the finish.
The Rosé, on the other hand, is a delightful expression of the winery's commitment to producing refreshing and elegant wines.
