Articulating our sense of place in every bottle, The Seventy-Five Wine Company revels in expressing California wine country’s sun, earth and abundance. The wine in the bottle tells the tale of the exquisite personal care and craftsmanship that begins in the vineyard. Our vineyards are meticulously tended from first bloom to harvest and beyond. The Seventy-Five Wine Company’s Amber Knolls Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc are produced from the highest quality fruit, farmed on some of the best vineyard sites in the world.
The Seventy-Five Wine Company is a true reflection of my life’s work and experience. Making a conscious choice to be faithful to my roots and character, I produce high quality, reasonably priced wines from my home in the heart of Napa Valley.
The Seventy-Five Wine Company commemorates and celebrates my arrival into the Napa Valley in 1975, heralding a decades-long endeavor of premium grape growing and winemaking. After many years of collaborating with some of the most talented vineyard managers and winemakers in the world, I started The Seventy-Five Wine Company, desirous of offering handcrafted wines of great quality and value. My exposure to premium grape growing and fine winemaking began at a very early age. When I was a young boy, I spent summers working in the vineyards and the wineries of the Napa Valley. Since then, my love of farming and winemaking, and my appreciation for fine wine has grown exponentially.
The Seventy-Five Wine Company is dedicated to pioneering change by producing premium wines of great distinction at reasonable prices. I insist on over-delivering on every one of your expectations: wine quality, pedigree and price.
The Seventy-Five Wine Company has an honest and historic connection to the vineyards of northern California. I have deep roots in the vineyard and an unending passion for winemaking. I strive to produce the best wines vintage after vintage, ensuring a consistent, high quality wine you will seek out again and again.
Many found inspiration in 1975: While my family set up shop in Napa Valley, Bill Gates founded Microsoft, Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, and the first episode of Saturday Night Live debuted.
It all started for me in 1975 in the vineyards of the Napa Valley. The Seventy-Five Wine Company is about continuing that tradition.

Wine maker notes
"This hand-selected, hand crafted vineyard designated Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the Amber Knolls Vineyard. The property is showcased by its deep, red hillside soils that are heavily laced in obsidian. We believe that Amber Knolls has unlimited potential in creating some of the finest grapes grown in the world.
The 2005 vintage of Amber Knolls Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has bright aromas of cherries, cranberries, and roses. It leads into a deep layering of earthy spices, vanilla, and cocoa. It finishes with beautiful and youthful tannins, creating a nice balance of Black cherry and spice."
