Description
Our estate vineyard, named in memory of Fess’s late son-in-law, was planted on the Fess Parker Home Ranch in 1989 to predominantly Rhône style varietal types. The wines from this vineyard have consistently been some of the most expressive and highly acclaimed in our portfolio. Inspired by a recent family trip, our “Home Ranch Cuvée” is a Rhône style blend that pays homage to the great wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape that we enjoy so much. We first released Home Ranch Cuvée, an additional estate offering and SIP Certified wine, in 2024 in celebration of Fess Parker Winery's 35th anniversary.
