Wineries / Tuck Beckstoffer Wines |
The Beckstoffers have been managing vineyards in Napa Valley since 1975 and are the largest private landholders in Napa Valley. They source grapes out to such wine greats as Paul Hobbs, Plumpjack, Broman, Merryvale, Provenance, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, and Clos du Val.
Over the years Tuck has honed his own winemaking skill at Cakebread Cellars and Far Niente and is now making his own wines including the very sought after brands such as 75 (the year he came to Napa) and Vinifera.
Tuck's mission is a simple one: "We are committed to producing and offering hand-crafted wines from the finest vineyards in California at a reasonable price in a package that will compete for attention in the finest restaurants in the world." We hope you enjoy these wines as much as we do.
