The V12 Vineyards Estate, located on western-facing slopes on the east side of the Napa Valley, is situated adjacent to many premium, famed and long-established Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards where the sun rises just above the Stags Leap Appellation. Jimmy Vasser saw great potential when he purchased the rugged property in 2001. With purpose and respect for the land, Jimmy, along with Estate Manager Davie Piňa, set out to transform the former chicken ranch into a world-class winegrowing estate.

This is, quite simply, a perfect place for growing grapes. Because the V12 Vineyards Estate sits above the fog line, the growing vines benefit from early morning sun, as well as radiant warmth from the valley floor that blankets the vines and keeps temperatures mild at night. These natural conditions result in grapes that evolve into complex, deeply intense wines with desired acidity, a plush mouthfeel and pleasing tannic structure.
