Formerly the Girard Winery property in the famed Oakville district of Napa Valley, was purchased in 1996 by Mr. Leslie Rudd, a food and wine entrepreneur from Wichita, Kansas. He has redesigned, remodeled and redeveloped the winery and vineyard into a precious gem that is destined to become one of the Valley's finest wine estates. The Rudd wines are crafted by the dynamic David Ramey, who is known as one of the most talented winemakers in the business.
