The Vlessis family originally came to Napa Valley from Bend, Oregon over ten years ago, with the hope of producing Cabernet Sauvignon. Combining a love of wine with a PhD in Biochemistry, Dr. Angelo Vlessis set out to learn everything there was to know about starting a vineyard from scratch and creating incredible Cabernet. This began as a family project and has continued to be an all-hands-on-deck Vlessis family adventure to this day.
