The Estate
A house on Zinfandel Lane
Heronrest Vineyards was founded in 1978 in St. Helena. The estate house looks over merlot and cabernet on a quiet stretch of Zinfandel Lane — sit-down tastings, a kitchen garden, and a table that has been set for nearly fifty seasons.
History
Two Winemakers, One Warehouse
Two families, one crush pad, and a belief that merlot could be a Napa grand vin rather than a blending grape. The Correspondence, our reserve cabernet-merlot, followed once the vines were old enough to argue back.

Winemaking
Small Lots, No Formula
Classic Bordeaux technique, Napa light. Small lots, French oak, and the patience to wait for the vintage rather than invent one.
