Proprietors: Suzanne Phifer Pavitt and Shane Pavitt
Winemaker: Ted Osborne
Vineyards: Phifer Pavitt sources its grapes from Temple Family Vineyards’ Lakespring Ranch in Napa Valley. Vineyard manager Arthur Spencer designed and planted this vineyard ten years ago and farms it organically, producing small, intensely flavorful berries. The vineyard sits at 670 feet, in loam soil, with the vines spaced at 7x5. The farming incorporates many features which support its organic dedication---barn owl boxes, indigenous legume cover crop for beneficial insects and soil fertility, ladybug plantings and night harvesting.
The Winery: Phifer Pavitt Wines is a dream of Suzanne Phifer and Shane Pavitt, who moved to the Napa Valley in 2001 and over the course of several years of ‘date nights,’ hatched the idea of their own Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Production: approximately 300 cases a year
