Signorello Vineyards
Ray Signorello Jr. began
his journey as winemaker and vineyard owner in the Napa Valley during the mid
1980's. Rays' father, Ray Sr. initiated the vineyard project during the mid
1970's by purchasing the 100 acre estate located on the Silverado Trail in the
beautiful Napa Valley. Ray Sr. worked side by side with Ray Jr. establishing the
winery's reputation for excellence until his passing in the fall of 19998.
Signorellos' original plan was to grow quality grapes to sell to existing
wineries, but the harvest of 1985 changed this plan into a new level of
evolvement. The bountiful crop allowed Signorellos to custom crush the excess
grapes. This opportunity demonstrated what fabulous wine their vineyards were
capable of producing. The project continues to grow, as do the spectacular 42
acres planted in several different varietals. Ray's continuing effort represents
the invested energies that created this reality from a dream.
In 1986 the Signorellos began the second phase of the venture, this was the building of the main winery structure. This beautiful building is used for barrel storage, wine tasting and retail sales. Along with the building of the winery, wine production was expanded to include Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. By the end of the 1980's the Signorello family was thoroughly committed to making wine as well as growing grapes.
The decade of the nineties proved to be pivotal for Signorello Vineyards. In 1990 the first planting of red varietals began on the property- Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah.
What brought the Signorellos to the Napa Valley was the romantic side of winemaking; growing grapes, working the land, and enjoying the wine country lifestyle of camaraderie, good wine and great meals. While the Valley lifestyle is a very real part of the business, there is a serious responsibility to making a dream become a reality, both father and son realized this fact early in the endeavor.
This venture was a dream; now it is reality. We have enjoyed every moment of it, and we look forward to continuing on to make quality wines from the Napa Valley!
