About Buoncristiani Family Winery
Buoncristiani Family Winery carries one of Napa Valley's most distinctively Italian heritage names — Buoncristiani, meaning 'good Christian' in Italian, the virtue-declaring family name placed on a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon estate. The Buoncristiani name is deeply personal: this family's Italian ancestry encoded in a surname that announced their faith and their goodness to every community they entered.
The Big Ranch Road estate produces Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and proprietary blends from carefully selected valley sources with the family-accountability philosophy that Italian heritage wine families traditionally embrace. Three generations of family involvement in Napa Valley wine (the family has been involved in agriculture in the valley for decades before the winery was founded) inform an approach rooted in accumulated local knowledge.
Wine Advocate has scored Buoncristiani's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at 91–94 points, recognizing the quality of the sourcing and the family's consistent commitment to Napa Valley Cabernet excellence.
