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.
