Description

Located off the typical Napa “beaten path”, Pope Valley Winery is located in the Northeastern hills just beyond Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. This boutique property produces wines made from their family owned, estate vineyards in Pope Valley from vines that were planted as far back as 1940. Originally founded in 1897, this was one of the few Napa County wineries to stay “open” during part of Prohibition. The winery is built into the hillside to create cave-like cool temperatures and higher humidity for the barrel room. Today, winemaker Greg Fitzgerald (Colgin, Fleury) is working with legendary winemaker Jean Hoefliger (Alpha Omega) in crafting world-class wines in Pope Valley. Producing only 5000 cases annually, these are terroir driven wines with great complexity and soul. Available in limited quantities.

Owned by the Eakle family, Pope Valley Winery is located in the Northeastern hills just beyond Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. Here they farm two estate vineyards with a combined 80 planted acres between the winery and the Eakle Ranch vineyard. Their wines showcase the mineral complexity of the soils and yield rich, distinctive wines characteristic of the terroir. Pope Valley is a warm growing climate with cool evenings and mornings which allow the grapes to hang on the vine long enough to ripen to their fullest potential yet cool enough at night to develop complex varietal aromas. Pope Valley wines express the historic character that established Napa Valley as one of the premier growing regions in the world.

The Pope Valley Winery was originally founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy Winery & Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family purchased the historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009 the next generation of Eakles stepped in to continue building and furthering the family's vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking establishment. Currently siblings David Eakle, winemaker, and Diana Eakle Hawkins, general manager, are making great strides in bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level. In his position of Winemaker Greg Fitzgerald (Colgin, Fleury) is working with legendary winemaker Jean Hoefliger (Alpha Omega) in crafting world-class wines in Pope Valley.
