Pym-Rae is a winery located in Napa, California, a natural choice, but not just any location in the Valley. The region’s warm climate needed the balance of cooler, high-altitude conditions. To produce deep and balanced wines, sedimentary soils were essential, with historic marine deposits having evolved over millions of years. The Mount Veeder region provided all of this.

After searching for the right terroir for four years, the Tesseron family purchased
Pym-Rae in January 2016. Planted 30 years ago, the vineyard of Pym-Rae was already in a very good
condition.

When Alfred Tesseron tasted the berries for the first time, he said : “the fruit is unique”
confirming the potential of that estate.

Named by the late owner, Robin Williams, "Pym-Rae" combines both middle names
of his first two children.

Among the 653 acres (260 ha) of Pym-Rae’s property, only 18.4 acres (7 ha) are planted
with vines. The parcels are ideally located in the cooler Mount Veeder hills (up to 1,600
feet).
