Maple Lane is a partnership between vineyard owners Richard and Lucy Parks, and winemaker, Bradley Smith. Richard and Lucy purchased the vineyard in 2005 with a dream of making world class wine. Via a mutual friend, the Parks and Brad met and the partnership was born.

The Maple Lane vineyard is situated in the heart of the Napa Valley between the towns of St. Helena and Calistoga and next to the Mayacamas mountains. On this fifteen acre vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are grown.

The weather patterns in this region consistently produce some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the world. The vines have full exposure to the morning and afternoon sun, with the hills to the west providing shade from the late afternoon heat. This allows the fruit to ripen gradually over the growing season. The vineyard is sustainably farmed, using permanent cover crop to provide a home for native fauna. The farming philosophy for Maple Lane is to always combine the wisdom of the past with the knowledge of the present.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
