About Okapi Wines
Okapi Wines is a boutique Napa Valley wine project crafting Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from select vineyard sources in the Napa area. Established in 2009, the project reflects a commitment to quality-driven winemaking, with production limited to ensure hands-on attention at every stage from vineyard to bottle. The wines are designed to express the distinctive terroir of their origins while remaining true to the winemaker's vision.
The winemaking at Okapi Wines emphasizes structure and age-worthiness. Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from proven vineyard sites and crafted with careful extraction, French oak aging, and patient blending to develop layers of complexity. The Merlot provides a complementary dimension, broadening the portfolio and demonstrating the range of the winemaking program. The cellar work is precise without being formulaic, allowing the natural quality of the fruit to guide the finished wine.
Okapi Wines pours at their tasting room in Napa. The experience is welcoming and educational, with flights designed to showcase the current releases and the winemaking philosophy behind them. The Napa location makes this an easy and rewarding stop on a Napa Valley tasting day.
