Founder of America’s first Petite Sirah, Concannon Vineyard introduced Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon clones 7, 8 and 11, which provided the backbone of Napa Valley’s Cabernet Sauvignon resurgence in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
The historic winery earned organic certification for its estate vineyards in 2010 and preserves an agricultural way of life by protecting vineyards from urban development through its Conservancy tier of wines.
