It can be hard to remember that Napa Terroir exists (thanks, Parker). But on the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas Range that separates Napa Valley and the Sonoma Valley, approximately 30 miles inland from the Pacific and 25 miles north of San Pablo Bay, the Spring Mountain District makes it easy to understand why Napa long ago established itself as one of the great winemaking regions of the world. For the past 50 years, 3 generations of the Keenan family have championed that mountain terroir with vintage after vintage of some of California's most stunning Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and beyond (you don't have to just take our word for it: a 1988 blind tasting between Keenan Merlot and the legendary Bordeaux producer Château Pétrus ended in a dead tie between the two). We're welcoming have Reilly - winemaker, raker of leaves, and the latest Keenan generation in the cellar - behind the bar to pour a lineup of 6 wines that reflect the magic of this special terroir.
