Fife
Fife produces wines from Napa Valley, the North Coast region that has defined California Cabernet and Zinfandel for generations. The winery's portfolio centers on these two varieties, each expressing the valley's warm days and moderate nights. Max Cuvée, a Zinfandel blend, anchors the range alongside a Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Les Vieilles Vignes Zinfandel, which draws from older plantings. These wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Napa Valley's volcanic soils and maritime influence create the conditions for ripe, structured reds—Cabernet with its characteristic cassis and cedar, Zinfandel with darker fruit and spice. Fife's focus on these flagship expressions reflects the region's strengths.
