Tempus
Tempus produces wines across Napa Valley's diverse terroir, drawing from the North Coast's varied microclimates and soil profiles. The winery's portfolio spans both red and white varietals, with Cabernet Sauvignon anchoring its red offerings—a natural fit for the region's warm days and cool nights that build structure and ripeness in the grape. The Sagemoor Reserve Vintage Red and Evergreen Vineyard Riesling demonstrate range across the portfolio, the latter capturing the aromatic and mineral qualities Riesling expresses in cooler Napa sites. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated Tempus wines, reflecting critical engagement with the winery's output. The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling signals a winery attuned to both Napa's signature red varietals and the potential of white grapes in select vineyard blocks.
