Baldacci Family Vineyards is a family-owned winery located in the Stags Leap District AVA of Napa Valley.[1] Established in 1998, Baldacci Family Vineyards owns over 50 acres of sustainably farmed vines in three distinct Napa Valley appellations: Stags Leap District, Calistoga, and Los Carneros. The wine portfolio is focused on limited-production, estate-grown wines.[2]
Over 25 years ago, Thomas and Brenda Baldacci were entranced by the beauty of the Napa Valley and the timeless heritage of the Stags Leap District. The generations before had left a deep and abiding affinity for the land from which came not only their livelihood, but their legacy. When they purchased the Stags Leap District property, Thomas and Brenda knew that they had found a place for their extended family to stay connected through the generations.[4]
Today, second-generation vintner Michael Baldacci creates limited-production wines from three distinct estate vineyards located in the nested AVAs of Calistoga, Stags Leap District, and Los Carneros. The portfolio reflects the diversity of each estate vineyard with a focus on small lot, premium Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The wines have been favorably reviewed by renowned critics including Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter, among many others.[5][6][7]
Along with Stags' Leap Winery and others, Baldacci Family Vineyards is a member of the Stags Leap District Winery Association.[8]
