About
Pilcrow Wine, established in 2014 by winemaker Sara and her husband Jonah Beer, is located in Napa Valley. The couple draws inspiration from the classic wine styles of the region prior to the 1980s, aiming to create wines that reflect their terroir and varietals. They focus on producing lower alcohol, higher acidity wines that are food-friendly, often picking grapes earlier than many producers.
Sara has extensive experience in the wine industry, having worked at Duckhorn Wine Company and founded True North Wine Merchant. Jonah, a Napa Valley resident since 1998, previously held significant roles at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Frog's Leap Winery. Pilcrow initially sourced grapes from the Pym-Rae Vineyard and later from the Ghost Block Vineyard, known for its historical significance and unique geological features.
The winery emphasizes a gentle, non-manipulative winemaking approach, showcasing the varietal and site through minimal intervention. Pilcrow produces a limited selection of wines, including several Cabernet Sauvignons that highlight the distinct characteristics of their vineyard sources, with a focus on balance and finesse. Visitors can expect a thoughtful tasting experience that reflects the couple's dedication to Napa Valley's winemaking heritage.
