Founded by Greg Melanson in 1988, Melanson Vineyard produces small lot, handcrafted estate wines. Our 42-acre property is currently planted with 101/2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Chardonnay.

All of our wines are produced in limited quantities from our own estate, on Pritchard Hill, in the Napa Valley using a combination of old world techniques and modern technology. We are dedicated to producing superb, reserve-style wines that reflect this uniquely ancient terroir.

Melanson Vineyard wines are available at select restaurants in the United States and for purchase in limited quantities through our website.

The Melanson Vineyard is set on a rugged, boulder-strewn hillside with distinct southern and western exposures. Guided by the vision of Greg Melanson and John Arns, we have embraced Pritchard Hill’s natural terroir. Rather than investing in major rock-crushing operations, excavations and soil replacement, we have committed ourselves to working with what nature itself gave to this area: rich natural soils, loaded with igneous and seabed rock.

This soil and sun, the higher altitudes and rugged hills… These are the unique foundation for Melanson Vineyard wines.

Winemaker: Dave Lattin

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.
