After retiring from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1967, our Grandfather Norman (Bud) Robinson and wife Helen (Dinky) Robinson purchased 78 acres in the Napa Valley. An idea of vineyards was planted by friends and neighbors Nathan Fay and Father Tom Turnbull and that was all it took to get our grandparents inspired. They gave up horses and cattle, planted vineyards and joined the Home Winemaker's Association. After Grandpa's passing in 1998 the family has dedicated themselves to continuing the tradition he started and his passion for wine.Norman and Helen's daughter Susie Robinson Jinks and son-in-law Tom Jinks run all the day to day operations.

Granddaughters Carrie, Kim and Robin also help with the family business with their respective husbands Joe, JD, and Zack close by their side.

The hills are covered with aging oak trees, 7 acres of hillside vineyard, and our grandmother's charming hand built log cabin. t the rear of Grandma's house, dug into the mountain slope is our small boutique winery housing our estate grown wines, which consist of cabernet sauvignon and merlo.Our vineyard is located in an ideal setting. During the day the heat from the large structured volcanic rock of the cliffs penetrates the vines, then the cool coastal nights of the valley assist to create a supple and balanced wine.

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.
