Editorial profile

Rombauer Vineyards was founded in 1980 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer in St. Helena, releasing its first wines — a 1980 Cabernet Sauvignon and 1982 Chardonnay — in 1984. The winery built its early production around a rich, fruit-driven style of Carneros Chardonnay after securing its first Carneros grapes in 1990, and that wine remains the estate's signature bottling alongside a broader Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon program, including the single-vineyard Atlas Peak Cabernet.

The portfolio has expanded over four decades to include a Sierra Foothills-grown El Dorado Single Vineyard Zinfandel, a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc added in 2014, and — as of 2023 — a Pinot Noir from Monterey County's Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Today the family farms sites across Napa Valley, Sonoma County, the Sierra Foothills and the Santa Lucia Highlands.
