Goldschmidt Vineyards

Goldschmidt Vineyards is one of Alexander Valley's most seriously credentialed and critically acclaimed single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon programs. Nick Goldschmidt — the New Zealand-born winemaker who spent years building the vineyard programs at Simi and Beringer, accumulating extraordinary knowledge of Alexander Valley's finest vineyard sites — established his own label in 1999 with the specific purpose of producing the finest possible single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the sites he had spent his career identifying.

The single-vineyard program spans the Alexander Valley's most distinctive terroir expressions: Yoeman Vineyard from the valley's warm benchland, Forefathers from the hillside terrain, and Game Ranch from the mountain sites that produce the most structurally complex and age-worthy Alexander Valley Cabernet. Each wine is a deliberate statement about what that specific site can achieve when farmed and vinified with the precision that Nick Goldschmidt's career-long Alexander Valley expertise enables.

Consistent 93–97 point reviews from major critics reflect the program's genuine quality ambition, while the weekend walk-in format and picnic grounds make the Goldschmidt experience accessible to visitors who want to discover one of Alexander Valley's finest single-vineyard Cab programs without the appointment-only exclusivity that many comparable programs require.
