About Haynes Vineyard
Haynes Vineyard is one of Coombsville's founding estates — the Haynes family has farmed this corner of the Napa Valley's coolest appellation since 1975, before Coombsville even had its own AVA designation. The Coombsville sub-appellation, recognized in 2011, sits at the southeastern edge of Napa Valley where the Vaca Range creates a natural bowl that channels marine air from San Pablo Bay overnight, cooling the vineyards significantly relative to warmer appellations further north.
The volcanic Coombsville soils — ancient lava flows weathered into the dark, rocky, well-drained substrate that characterizes this corner of Napa — produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of unusual minerality and tighly-wound acidity. Old vines dating to the estate's founding decade add depth and structural complexity.
The Haynes family names the wines directly for the family — that is the declaration: this land, these vines, our family, our name.
