Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Revana Family Vineyard is a vineyard and winery estate with a singular focus of producing world class Cabernet Sauvignon. For Dr. Madaiah Revana, it is the culmination of his dream to grow and craft wines of exceptional quality.
In 1997, while traveling in the Napa Valley, Dr. Revana discovered a small parcel of prime vineyard land for sale, located just north of the town of St. Helena. He immediately sensed the property’s potential. The area was already known for producing some of Napa Valley’s most prodigious Cabernet Sauvignons and the gravelly soils, sloped pitch and excellent exposures of the property seemed perfect for growing grapes. Studies of the soil composition confirmed that it was an ideal location for premium Bordeaux varieties.
After purchasing the property, Dr. Revana focused on assembling a team that could execute his vision of producing great Cabernet. He first met with many talented Napa Valley vineyard managers. Jim Barbour clearly stood out from the rest of the group and Dr. Revana asked him to develop and care for his property.
Barbour then introduced Dr. Revana to winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett. Heidi, widely considered one of California’s greatest winemakers, was impressed by the potential of the vineyard site and by Dr. Revana’s intent of crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.
