From the producer: Cougar Rock Vineyard was the site for our inaugural wines in 2011, with the name stemming from the first sight of the craggy rock feature at the highest point of the estate by Piero Antinori in 1966.

Nestled from 1450 to 1800 feet above sea level, the vineyard lies due east of Yountville, high up in the Vaca Mountain Range of the eastern hills in Napa Valley. Within the range rests Foss Valley the original throughway from the coast to the Sacramento Valley for the early settlers in California. In the heart of Foss Valley, the 1200-acre estate encompasses the furthest eastward portion of the Atlas Peak AVA in Napa Valley.
