Wrapped by Soscol Creek, perched on a hillside of fractured rocks, and shrouded with morning fog and afternoon sea breezes, the Empress Court Vineyard sits at an ideal spot. At the southeastern mouth of Napa Valley, right between the renowned Coombsville and Los Carneros AVAs, it looks over the San Pablo Bay straight at the Golden Gate and the Pacific Ocean. The rocky soil and western exposure drives ripening, but the cool climate maintains freshness and acidity. This results in wines with depth and character, as well as zesty freshness.
