Jonquil Vineyard

 Jonquil Vineyard


The loamy, non-serpentine soils at this Pope Valley site in the Napa Valley’s northeast corner promote big, full-bodied, luscious wines. Jonquil, the French name for daffodil, also showcases the Nord family’s commitment to preservation and sustainability as the vineyards sit among wildflowers, huge gnarled oak trees, and native American cultural sites.

Site Characteristics:
