Joe Reynoso is the oldest of 15 children. His father, Amado, was a migrant worker in the Central Valley of California. While constantly on the move following the harvest, education was always a priority. By the time Joe was in 8th grade, he had already attended 9 different schools. It was in 1980, when Joe was working as a piano mover in the Bay Area, that he first set eyes upon the vineyards of Napa Valley and decided that he would own one of his own… eventually.
Today Reynoso Family Vineyards is in it’s third generation and remains committed to producing small lots of estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc. The remote 550 acre estate was originally purchased in 1994, and since then our grapes have been sold to some of Sonoma’s top wine producers. Reynoso Family Vineyards currently farms 155 of the 550 acres, keeping only a tiny percentage of the finest grapes on the estate for our own wines. Ultimately, our goal is to craft fruit-driven wines that display distinctive varietal character and intensity without sacrificing elegance and their own element of terroir.
