The Terroir
Nestled within the Coombsville AVA, Alluvium Estate benefits from one of Napa Valley's most distinctive growing environments. The appellation's cooler climate and longer growing season allow our grapes to develop slowly on the vine, building layers of complexity and nuanced flavor that define our wines.
The name "Alluvium" pays homage to the mineral-laden deposits left by ancient waterways that once carved through this landscape. These alluvial soils, rich with gravel, silt, and clay, provide exceptional drainage and a diverse mineral profile that imparts depth and character to every vintage we produce.
