The Wine

Our wines are crafted to express the land from which they are grown. The wines have structure, freshness and ageability. We use less new oak in hopes of making the wines more approachable sooner in their life and to highlight the fruit. The oak that is used in both wines still gives them the structure to age appropriately. No measure that may be employed to improve quality will ever be sacrificed.

The meaning of “vaso”

We understand VASO to mean vessel and use it to share the beauty and potential of the Napa Valley with you through our story, philosophy, farming practices, and wine.

We take inspiration in our approach with VASO from the Korean Moon Jar crafted during the early Joseon Dynasty of 1392-1910. The remaining examples of the Moon Jar are Korean national treasures -- lauded for their immense beauty and uniqueness, they continue to provide inspiration for artists of many different disciplines.
