Allocations
Allocation Philosophy
We produce wines in extremely small quantities from some of Napa Valley’s most sought-after mountain and hillside vineyards. While select wines are available in limited markets such as Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Florida, our most limited bottlings — particularly from Howell Mountain, Oakville, Atlas Peak, and Spring Mountain — are offered primarily through private allocation.
This approach allows us to:
Preserve the integrity of tiny vineyard lots
Reward our most dedicated collectors
Maintain direct relationships with those who value provenance and rarity
Ensure that our finest wines are placed intentionally, not broadly distributed
Allocation is not about exclusivity for its own sake — it is about stewardship. When production is measured in barrels rather than thousands of cases, we believe the wines deserve a thoughtful home.
