Your Premier Source for Estate-Grown Wines in Napa Valley
Established in 2002, Grieve Family Winery was founded by David and Kathleen Grieve, who transformed their passion for wine into a thriving estate in Napa's Lovall Valley. Our vineyard, located in one of Napa's coolest and most remote growing regions, benefits from a unique microclimate and gravelly loam soils that, combined with rigorous organic farming practices, yield wines of exceptional complexity and site expression. We produce two distinct labels: Grieve Family Estate Wines, exclusively from our 70-acre estate, and Double Eagle wines, Bordeaux-style blends incorporating premier valley-floor grapes. Our collaboration with renowned winemaker Philippe Melka, a master of soil-driven wines, ensures each bottle reflects both Old World tradition and New World innovation.Through meticulous viticulture and a commitment to sustainability, we craft limited-production wines that capture the essence of Lovall Valley's terroir. Our estate's elevated hilltop location, straddling the Napa-Sonoma border, provides ideal conditions for slow ripening, enhancing flavor development and structural depth. We invite wine enthusiasts to explore our portfolio through our mailing list, wine club memberships, and curated gifting programs. With decades of collective experience and a focus on quality, we remain dedicated to producing wines that embody the unique character of our vineyard's environment.
