The Bader family has been in the wine grape growing business since the family bought eight acres in the Western Napa Valley Together the family works to produce Phoenix Vineyards' small output of 2,500 cases annually. Now three generations are involved in the wine-making business, producing estate wines crafted from some of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley.

This winery is all about attention to their grapes and to their clientele. The first vintage was a 1991 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, and in the following years the varietals expanded to include an Estate Merlot in 1995 ("Little Blackbird," an award winner, with a raspberry cassis and a sandalwood finish), and in 1999 with an Estate Pinotage "Song of Africa," a "symphony of cranberries," according to the Baders. Phoenix continues to explore as it grows, including a spicy, peppery Pinot Noir Reserve, and the green apple and tropical fruity Chardonnay Reserve.

We do offer sales by appointment for visitors. It is very important that interested guests call ahead several days in advance of their visit. This can be done toll-free at 877-374-6364. If you do not here is a good chance you may find the gate locked and no one around. We have only one full time employee (yours truly, the winemaker) and during most seasons I have a hectic schedule trying to run the business, make, transport, and market the wines for your ultimate enjoyment.

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.
