Sabina Vineyards, located in Napa Valley, is a boutique winery founded by David and Susan Sabin, who were inspired by their experiences in small Burgundian wineries. The winery, established in 2003, features a unique setup where the Sabins live above the winery, which is designed around their three-acre vineyard primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The winemaking was initially led by David DeSante, a notable figure in Napa Valley, and is currently overseen by Alejandro Alfaro, who has been with the winery since its inception. The vineyard is situated on the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas mountains, in a premium hillside neighborhood, and is farmed organically. The winery produces wines with lower alcohol content, focusing on picking grapes at physiological maturity rather than over-ripeness. Sabina Vineyards has also experimented with sourcing fruit from outside Napa, including Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, though they have since discontinued this production. Visits to the winery are typically exclusive, catering to collectors and serious wine enthusiasts, often featuring curated tastings and art displays. The wines are available for purchase through their website, with select library vintages offered as well.
