People: The Peterson Family, Owners | Robert Foley, Winemaker
Switchback Ridge wines are sourced exclusively from their estate Peterson Family Vineyard located directly across from the prestigious Three Palms Vineyard at the northeastern end of the Napa Valley in Calistoga. It is a beautiful 100-acre parcel of land that has been in the family since 1914 and located where the Silverado Trail intersects Dutch Henry Canyon Road. For over 75 years the property was maintained primarily as a prune orchard. Beginning in 1990 the remaining prune orchards were replanted with 20 acres of thriving Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Sirah vines. The rich, rocky soils of this beautiful vineyard property consistently produce low yields of intensely flavored fruit, resulting in extremely concentrated wines with explosive flavor on the palate. Not only are they blessed with an incredible vineyard site, but they are extremely fortunate to be working with one of the most talented winemakers in the industry. Robert Foley has been making their wines since the first vintage in 1999.
