More about 2020 Founding Brothers by Cathiard Vineyard Napa Valley Red Cathiard Vineyard has a rich history that began in 1885 when two Scottish brothers, James and William Rennie, purchased the property and planted 60 acres that thrived near the base of the Mayacamas Mountains along Rutherford's Western edge, where you'll find many of the region's best-producing vineyards like Dana Helms, Inglenook and Staglin. Today the property belongs to the owners of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux, Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who fell in love with the biodiversity of the vineyard and farm with a biodynamic objective scoring second only to Harlan Family wines (Estate, Promontory, and Bond) by James Suckling for the 2020 vintage.
