Priest Ranch is a historic Napa Valley property established in 1869 by James Joshua Priest, a Gold Rush prospector. In 2004 we combined the historic Priest Ranch (660 acres) and Elder Valley (995 acres) properties to create the Somerston Estate. Today the 1,615-acre estate has 215 acres of producing vineyards from 15 distinct areas with a total of 180 different blocks. We combine fruit from multiple blocks to bring you these wines that express the diversity of our estate.
