About Rarecat Wines
Rarecat Wines is named for the idea of rareness — the uncommon specimen, the unusual find, the thing that has value precisely because it doesn't behave like everything else around it. Diane Kenworthy's Napa Valley Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc project is rare in a valley dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon: a women-founded, white-wine-focused estate making the argument that Napa Valley's terroir can produce world-class white wines alongside its famous reds.
The Yountville-based boutique produces Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from carefully selected Napa Valley and Sonoma County sources with a winemaking philosophy that prioritizes freshness, site clarity, and the kind of aromatic precision that distinguishes white wine made with Burgundy-level seriousness.
Rarecat is genuinely rare in the Napa context: a small, women-led, white-wine-committed estate that has maintained its identity in a marketplace that constantly pressures producers toward Cabernet Sauvignon.
