Hourglass Winery

Hourglass Winery grew out of the Smith family's Napa Valley roots dating to the mid-1960s. The original 4-acre Hourglass Vineyard, at the narrow crossing on Lodi Lane north of St. Helena, was planted to Zinfandel in 1976 and sold to Caymus Vineyards until phylloxera forced a replant to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1991; Jeff Smith produced the first Hourglass vintage in 1997 with founding winemaker Bob Foley.

In 2006 the family added the 40-acre Blueline Vineyard in Calistoga's Dutch Henry Canyon, planted to five Bordeaux varieties on porous river-cobble soil. Both sites sit at a geographic narrowing of Napa Valley between the Mayacamas and Vaca ranges, likened by a UC Davis viticulture dean to 'the middle of an hourglass', and total production remains small, around 3,500-4,000 cases a year across the Hourglass, Blueline, HG III, and Mabon labels.
