In 1962 sweeping views of the Napa Valley charmed our grandfather, Caspar Escher, into purchasing land in the Mayacamas Mountain range high above the Rutherford Bench. Together with our grandmother, Virginia Crowley Escher, he created a rustic getaway from San Francisco. “Pops” raised cattle, rabbits, chickens and horses and “Vee” oversaw the fruit trees, herbs and vegetable gardens. As kids, we r
ode on Pops’ tractor, helped farm and fix things, and explored the property. Other days we would clear trails, hunt for mushrooms and when lucky find indian obsidian arrowheads. We rekindled our dormant grove of century-old Mission olive trees and enriched the land with fruit trees, a garden, bee hives and an idyllic vineyard. Atop those rocky hillside soils, we organically farm 13 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot vines. We are blessed with the rich terroir to produce Cabernet Sauvignon, extra virgin olive oil and wildflower honey from our estate. Every harvest we experience the humble purity of our family's land. It is our pleasure to invite you to share it with us. Jody Harris, Gingy Harris Gable
