Chris Hamilton Cellars is a Napa Valley winery founded by Chris Hamilton, who was inspired by his first visit to the region in 2009. After developing a passion for Napa's wines and culture, he began collaborating with long-time grower Andy Hoxey, which ultimately led to the creation of his wine brand. Winemaker Jeff Ames, who took over in 2022, has an extensive background in the industry, having worked with notable wineries in Napa and Oregon. The winery sources its grapes from organically and dry-farmed vineyards in Yountville and Oakville. Chris Hamilton Cellars produces a variety of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, each characterized by balanced flavors and appealing aromas. The wines are noted for their quality relative to price, making them some of Napa Valley's better-valued offerings. While the winery does not have a public tasting room, select bottlings can be found at local retailers in Napa and Texas. Chris Hamilton Cellars aims to expand its distribution while maintaining a focus on quality and value. For more information, the winery's website provides details on purchasing and joining their mailing list.
