August Briggs

Single-vineyard Syrah, Charbono, and Cabernet from Calistoga's volcanic terroir.

August Briggs operates in Calistoga, the northernmost appellation of Napa Valley, where volcanic soils and warm days shape bold red wines. The winery focuses on single-vineyard expressions that reveal the character of specific sites. Page Nord Vineyard Syrah anchors the portfolio—a wine that captures the peppery intensity and dark fruit typical of Calistoga Syrah. Frediani Vineyard Charbono, a rare Italian varietal, demonstrates the winery's commitment to exploring less common grapes suited to the region's heat. Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the core offerings, drawing on the structured, ripe character Calistoga terroir imparts to Cabernet. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these vineyard-designated wines, reflecting their technical merit and depth. The winery's approach privileges site expression over a single house style.
