Edge Hill Wines, located in Napa Valley, is one of the region's oldest wineries, originally established on 1,500 acres by General Erasmus Keyes in 1867. The property has a rich history, having changed hands multiple times, including ownership by General Richard Heath and William Scheffler, before being acquired by the Martini family in 1952. In 2000, Leslie Rudd purchased Edge Hill, revitalizing the winery and vineyard, which is now named the Louis P. Martini Vineyard in honor of the Martini family. Under Rudd's stewardship, Edge Hill focused on a diverse range of grape varieties, including Zinfandel and Grenache, and produced wines in limited quantities. In early 2022, the winery was sold to Joel Gott of Gott Wines, marking another chapter in its history. The first vintage under Gott's ownership was produced in 2022, with subsequent vintages made on-site following renovations to the historic gravity-fed winery. Visitors can expect a blend of historical significance and modern winemaking at Edge Hill, which continues to honor its legacy while producing unique wines. The estate features a picturesque setting on the slopes of the Mayacamas mountains, enhancing the tasting experience.
