About 3/Thirds
3/Thirds is a boutique Napa Valley wine project that takes its name from the philosophy of assembling three distinct vineyard sources into wines of complexity and balance. Founded with the belief that great blending is an art unto itself, the label focuses on red wines that weave together fruit from mountain, valley floor, and hillside sites to create expressions greater than the sum of their parts. The project operates with a small-lot mentality, producing limited quantities that reward careful cellaring.
The winemaking at 3/Thirds emphasizes blending as the primary creative act. Rather than releasing single-vineyard designations, the winery curates lots from across Napa Valley's sub-appellations, selecting parcels that contribute specific structural or aromatic elements to the final blend. Each component is vinified separately, aged in French oak, and then meticulously assembled over months of blending trials. The result is a house style that prizes integration, texture, and length over sheer power.
Tastings at 3/Thirds are available by appointment in St. Helena. The intimate setting offers a behind-the-scenes look at the blending philosophy that defines the label. Visitors can expect to taste current releases alongside individual blending components, gaining insight into how the final wines come together. The experience is personal and unhurried, well suited for visitors who appreciate the intellectual side of winemaking as much as the sensory.
