Kenefick Ranch

Calistoga Bordeaux blends rated by major critics.

Kenefick Ranch operates in Calistoga, the northern anchor of Napa Valley known for bold, structured reds. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—blended and bottled across three flagship expressions. The Founder's Reserve marries all four varieties into a wine rated 94.0 by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. The Premiere Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal expression rated 93.5, showcases the region's signature dark fruit and tannin density. The Pickett Road Red, a four-variety blend rated 90.7, rounds out the core lineup. Calistoga's volcanic soils and warm days produce ripe, concentrated fruit—the foundation for wines built on structure and depth rather than delicacy.
