Winery Current Owner: Joann Serafini
Winery Description: Shibumi Knoll Vineyards, established by Don and Joann Ross, is a boutique winery nestled near St. Helena in Napa Valley, California. The estate encompasses a small yet exceptional vineyard planted with approximately 1,700 Cabernet Sauvignon vines on less than an acre, situated on a distinctive knoll that offers optimal sun exposure and rocky soils conducive to producing high-quality grapes. Beyond their estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Shibumi Knoll is renowned for its Chardonnay sourced from the Buena Tierra Vineyard in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. Their 2005 Chardonnay notably received a 97-point rating from Wine Spectator, tying for the highest score given to a California Chardonnay in that decade. The winery also crafts a Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, characterized by elegant notes of black raspberries, sappy herbs, and spring flowers. With a philosophy centered on "effortless perfection," Shibumi Knoll produces limited quantities of meticulously crafted wines that reflect the unique terroir of their vineyards.
