Flint Knoll Winery, founded in 2016 by Aaron Michaelis, is located in Napa Valley and pays homage to his Kansas roots through its name, inspired by the Flint Hills. Michaelis developed his passion for wine early on, working in various wine-related roles, including as Director of Sales at Revana Winery, where he established key industry connections. Flint Knoll focuses primarily on hillside-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing terroir and quality in both vineyard sourcing and winemaking practices, including the use of premium French oak barrels. The winery produces a range of wines, including the 2019 Commonwealth Chardonnay and several Cabernet Sauvignon varietals from notable vineyards like Keenan and Las Posadas. Each wine showcases distinct characteristics, with an emphasis on balance and purity of fruit. Flint Knoll's production is limited to around 1,300 cases annually, primarily sold direct to consumers. Visitors can schedule tastings at Mending Wall Winery, where Flint Knoll wines are crafted. The winery's labels are noted for their ornate designs, reflecting a blend of artistry and tradition.
