About Caladan
Caladan is a limited-production Napa Valley project crafting Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from mountain and hillside vineyards. The name evokes a sense of place and purpose, these are wines made with intention, from carefully selected sites that push the boundaries of what Napa Valley can express. Production is deliberately small, allowing the winemaker to lavish attention on every lot and every barrel.
Fruit sourcing at Caladan prioritizes elevation and exposure. Mountain vineyards on Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, and the Vaca range provide the intensity and structure that define the wines. Syrah, an uncommon variety for Napa Valley, is sourced from sites where it can express its full aromatic complexity and peppery spice. Winemaking is traditional and patient, with extended maceration and aging in French oak producing wines of depth and refinement.
Caladan wines are available through their mailing list and by appointment tasting. The experience is intimate and focused, designed for enthusiasts who appreciate small-lot winemaking and uncommon Napa Valley expressions. Visitors can expect a deep dive into mountain terroir and the distinctive character of each vineyard site, guided by passionate staff who share the winemaker's vision.
