A Mexico City family turned Napa vintners, the Cervantes crew planted their roots (literally) on a sprawling Pope Valley ranch in 2012 and started making wine in 2015 with winemaker Andy Erickson. Their Blacktail blend and Cervantes Cabernet are rich and complex, made in a place that feels more like a family gathering spot than a tasting room scene.
