Theorem Vineyards officially opened its doors on September 15, 2018. Tastings and tours began featuring their fine wines and extraordinary views. Tastings are limited to a few people at a time and are by appointment only.
Owners of the property- The Itkins — he a trial
lawyer and she a geophysicist/chemical engineer — first came to the Napa Valley
in 2008.
Theorem boasts 60 heavenly hillside acres on Diamond Mountain that produce
world class wine with the motto “in truth there is wine.”
Our host James Cerda, VP of Sales and Marketing, welcomed us
with chilled glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. We enjoyed tasting these wines outside
the guest house with an outstanding view of Mt. St. Helena and the Vaca
Mountains. The rebuilding of a 19th century historic dairy barn on
the property is currently the newest construction project which will provide
yet another tasting area for visiting wine lovers.
We tasted the estate cabernet,
called Voir Dire, which is a legal term originally referring to the oath taken
by jurors “to speak the truth.”. We also tasted the 2019 Moon Mountain
Chardonnay, 2018 Moon Mountain District Cabernet, 2018 Hawks Prey Cabernet, These
wines were paired perfectly with Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Cheese from Vermont,
Mount Tam Cheese from Petaluma, and Chiraboga Blue Cheese from Bavaria,
Germany.
We enjoyed all of the wines and took a bottle of each home with
us. We also booked a reservation to attend one of their private luncheons prepared
by Chef Josh Mitchell.
This winery is a ‘must do’ and is a great addition to the Napa
wine scene.
