About Aratas Wine
Aratas Wine is a boutique Napa Valley producer crafting limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from select vineyard sites. The project is driven by a commitment to producing wines of character and depth without the overhead of a large estate, allowing the focus to remain squarely on quality in every bottle. Aratas sources fruit from proven Napa Valley growers who share the same dedication to viticultural excellence.
Winemaking at Aratas follows a low-intervention philosophy. Grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented in small lots to preserve the individuality of each vineyard source. Aging occurs in French oak barrels for 18-22 months, building complexity while maintaining the fruit-forward character that defines Napa Valley Cabernet. The resulting wines offer concentration, balance, and a sense of place that belies their modest production scale.
Aratas Wine is available through their tasting room in downtown Napa and by appointment. The intimate space provides a welcoming environment for exploring the current releases, with knowledgeable staff who can guide visitors through the wines and the stories behind them. The downtown location makes Aratas an easy and rewarding stop for visitors exploring Napa's growing urban tasting scene.
