About
Snowden Vineyards produces classically styled, terroir-driven wines reflecting the unique heritage and character of their family ranch in Napa Valley, with grape-growing history dating back to 1878. The Snowden family acquired the 160-acre homestead in 1955, and four generations have stewarded the woods and vineyards. They specialize in site-specific Cabernet Sauvignons from blocks like Brothers Vineyard and Los Ricos, alongside other varietals.
