PRIORITY ACCESS: SINGLE-PLOT WINES
The inspiration behind Ink Grade’s single-plot red wines is the same premise behind the creation of Ink Grade Estate as a brand distinct from Heitz Cellar.
Joe Heitz was incredibly prescient when he planted these 220+ acres high in the northeast corner of Howell Mountain AVA in 1990 and 1991. Their multiplicity of exposures, facing every direction, are incredibly distinct—and are all over 30° slopes, something that cannot be planted anymore in Napa County. This magic will never be duplicated.

Our Ink Grade vineyard was a part of the Heitz Estate for over 30 years as the mountain project and has now emerged as its own brand. Joe Heitz purchased the Ink Grade Vineyard in 1989 and for many years, harvested the Ink Grade fruit and used it as a blending component in his iconic Heitz wines. While Ink Grade is now its own brand, built with pioneering energy, we still maintain a strong connection to our sister property, Heitz Cellar.
Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate guests under the age of twenty-one.
We appreciate your interest in bringing your dog however, we kindly request that only service animals be brought into our tasting lounge. While we understand that pets can be well-behaved and cherished members of the family, we have implemented this policy to ensure the comfort and safety of all our guests. Some visitors may have allergies, fears, or personal preferences that can be affected by the presence of animals.
