Rutherford is home to some of Napa Valley’s most widely recognized names like BV, Cakebread, Caymus, and Staglin to name a few.
Taub Family Vineyards, has deep roots dating back to just days after the repeal of Prohibition. Today, this award-winning winery is led by Marc D. Taub and his son Jake.
In 2013, Marc D. Taub acquired Heritance, a respected Napa Valley producer. This marked the beginning of a new chapter, blending heritage with new traditions. The name "Heritance" combines "heritage" and "inheritance," symbolizing the enduring legacy and the start of new traditions.
Taub Family Vineyards focuses on crafting wines that reflect the purity of their vineyard sites. They exclusively use mid-valley sites in Rutherford, Oakville, Mount Veeder, and Howell Mountain.
Tom Hinde has been the lead winemaker for Taub Family Vineyards since 2012. Tom is a renowned wine industry expert with over three decades of experience in vineyard cultivation, winery management, and artisan winemaking. He has held prestigious roles, including President and Director of Winemaking at Flowers Vineyard and Winery, and General Manager at Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates, where he contributed to the success of Lokoya, Cardinale, Stonestreet Winery, and Vérité Estate. His expertise and dedication are key to the exceptional quality of Taub Family Vineyards wines.

TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
- PAIRS WITH
- Cheese
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored with a beguiling bouquet of dark plum and blackberries combined with savory hints of tobacco, anise, and herbs de Provence. Full-bodied, broad, and plush with tremendous structure and intensity, displaying a palate full of blueberries, black and red currants, licorice, baker’s chocolate, coffee beans and quintessential “Rutherford dust.” Generous and tense, the bright lingering finish is lifted by nervy energy and vibrant acidity.
