The Sodaro Family Estate Vineyard and Winery is located in Napa Valley, California. The vineyard was meticulously developed from scratch on a site with unique diversity in elevation, exposure, and soil. Winemakers Bill and Dawnine Dyer, with over 30 years of experience, produce limited production Cabernet blends from 100% estate grown grapes. The winery uses small tank sizes to produce distinct wines for blending. Vineyard manager Michael Wolf and his team manage the 13,000 vine vineyard planted in 2000.
