Kuleto Estate Family Vineyards

Pat Kuleto's winemaking venture began in 1992, when he  purchased an 800-acre ranch, east of Rutherford high in the hills above the Napa Valley. While building his home, Villa Cucina ("kitchen home"), in rustic Tuscan villa style, Kuleto planted small patches of vineyard on the hillsides, where growing the highest quality winegrapes is possible. What began as a few acres of vines solely to make a home wine, grew quickly into a full-fledged vineyard.

Kuleto found 10% of the steep land to be perfectly suited to growing his favorite grape varieties. 1999 saw the ground-breaking for construction of Kuleto's new winery, just a few hundred yards from his home. It was completed in June 2003 and is open to private tours and tastings by appointment only. The Kuleto Estate Family Vineyards label currently produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Chardonnay.

Kuleto Estate Winery is dedicated to making the finest and most abundantly flavorful wines possible from his estate-grown fruit. The wines are sold direct through the website or they can be enjoyed at select restaurants and fine specialty retailers.

Kuleto Estate Vineyard

Purists covet hillside-grown grapes for one simple truth: the mountain fruit that grows under these exacting and stressful conditions finds its reward in grapes of incomparable concentration and complexity. From the Côte d'Or of Burgundy to Tuscany, Piedmont and the great next-door neighbor wines of Howell Mountain and Pritchard Hill, Kuleto Estate strives to continue the rich tradition of excellent mountain wines. First planted over a decade ago by Pat Kuleto, the once virgin land of Kuleto Estate has lived up to its original promise, yielding wines of depth, texture and suppleness.
