About Bressler Vineyards

Bressler Vineyards is a 5 acre vineyard adjacent to the well-respected Hayne Vineyard made famous by the Turley Zinfandel, and across the street from the highly regarded Beckstoffer Crane Vineyard.

Bressler Vineyards began in January 1999, when Bob and Stacey Bressler purchased 2 acres of premium vineyard property on the Napa Valley floor on the west side of St. Helena. Working with David Abreu, Vineyard Manager/Magician, Winemaker-extraordinaire Mia Klein, and Bob Gallagher of Crop Care, Inc.,the Bresslers embarked upon their adventure.

The rootstock (420A) was planted in July 1999. In June 2001 came the field-grafting of 1922 vines of Cabernet Franc, 1313 vines of Merlot, and 204 vines of Petit Verdot. These wines will be used as blending wines with our Cabernet Sauvignon beginning with the 2004 vintage. In January 2000, came the purchase of an additional 3 acres of adjacent vineyard with mature Cabernet vines, planted in 1986. The Bressler Vineyards Cabernet in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 is 100% from this vineyard.
