Rutherford Grove now Pestoni Family Estate
St. Helena, Calif.—Rutherford Grove Winery changed its name to Pestoni Family Estate Winery. "As one of Napa's pioneer winemaking families from the late 1800's, we want our winery name to convey our pride in my family's legacy here in the valley," said winery owner Bob Pestoni in a statement announcing the name change. "This year celebrates our family's 125th anniversary as winemakers in the Napa Valley. We look forward to sharing more of our history, heritage and wines with new and returning guests alike."
The Pestoni Family Wine portfolio includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Sauvignon Blanc from the family's Rutherford ranch, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a Bordeaux-style blend from a Howell Mountain estate. The Pestoni family owns and farms 60 acres of vineyard throughout the Napa Valley.
