Wines Shaped by Altitude, Soil, and Family.
Cabernet Grown at 1,800 Feet
More than four decades ago, our family planted a vineyard high in the Howell Mountain Range, just below the Twin Sisters summit. From this rugged hillside site above Napa Valley, Lyons Ranch produces Cabernet Sauvignon defined by structure, intensity, and a deep sense of place.
Every vintage reflects the character of the mountain — long growing seasons, rocky soils, and the patience required to craft wines of depth and balance.
Estate-grown in the Howell Mountains
Why Elevation Matters
Set apart from the valley floor, our site experiences cooler nights, dramatic temperature swings, and later harvests. These natural conditions lead to slower ripening, deeper color, and layered expression—qualities that define mountain-grown Cabernet.

A Closer Look at Our Current Release
Each bottle tells the story of its season. From bud break to harvest, our 2021 vintage reflects the care, patience, and precision that define life at elevation—and the generations who continue to farm it.
