Previous
Previous produces wines from Napa Valley, the North Coast region long defined by structured reds and elegant whites. The winery's Merlot, rated 90 by Wine Enthusiast, anchors a portfolio that includes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir—both grapes that thrive in Napa's variable microclimates. The Chardonnay achieved an 87 rating, while the Pinot Noir scored 86. These three wines represent the core of Previous's output: a Merlot-forward house with complementary expressions in California's signature white and cool-climate red varieties. Napa Valley's volcanic soils and maritime influence shape the character of wines from this region, and Previous's ratings suggest competent execution across its range.
