Elyse Winery isElyse Winery is one of the Napa Valley's most personally source-diverse and curiosity-driven small-production wine programs.
Ray and NancyRay and Nancy Coursen — who established the Hoffman Lane property in 1987 with a conviction that the Napa Valley's diverse growing environments deserved exploration across multiple varieties rather than exclusive Cabernet Sauvignon focus — produce estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, old-vine Zinfandel from Coombsville and other Napa Valley heritage sources, and Petite Sirah with the same personal curiosity that has guided the Coursen family's varietal explorations for 35+ years.
The Elyse sourcingThe Elyse sourcing philosophy — identifying the most historically interesting and personally compelling vineyard sources across the Napa Valley and surrounding regions rather than building an estate-singularly-focused production — produces a wine program of unusual varietal breadth and individual vineyard personality.

Coombsville Zinfandel
Coombsville / Elyse Estate
Elyse's most personally heritage-variety-committed old-vine expression — Coombsville Zinfandel from the most source-curious Ray Coursen identification of the Napa Valley's most individually historic Zinfandel growing environment, showing the volcanic mineral and food-compatible character that the most personally varietal-curious and individually source-identified Napa Valley boutique appointment produces.

★★★★☆
Red Blend
Nero Misto
Napa Valley / Elyse Estate
