Founded by winemaker John Kongsgaard and now run by Fritz and Caren Hatton, this Napa winery crafts bright, complex blends from cool-climate southern Napa vineyards (think Bordeaux varietals with serious soul). The name's a nod to Beethoven's last piano sonata, because these folks believe wine and music speak the same language.
