Today, the 1,682-acre Somerston Estate is home to 244 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards with 180 unique vineyard blocks and 15 distinct sites. From this property comes two highly rated brands, Somerston and Priest Ranch. Somerston wines represent distinctive block designated wines, while Priest Ranch wines are a blend of fruit from multiple vineyard blocks throughout the estate. In addition, Somerston has long been a fruit source for some of Napa’s most renowned producers.
