Growing up in Napa Valley I have decades long attachments to certain areas, landmarks, and locations- the Stags Leap District is one such place. As long as I can remember I have loved this little enclave, the stunning palisades, the way golden hour hits, the satisfying juxtaposition of the vineyard rows. I can't totally explain it, but it's special, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when I was when Treasury Wine Estates hired to shoot this epic property that captured my little girl heart so many years before. Over the course of almost a decade, I wandered every inch of the Stags' Leap estate, through every season, at every hour of the day. To date, many of the images that I captured on this property remain some of my most favorite, and without question this property holds a special place in my heart.
Congratulations to Mira Winery on your 2012 Schweizer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon being named Beverage Tasting Institute Red Wine of the Year as just announced in Forbes!
The Schweizer vineyard is one of the oldest producing vineyards in Napa Valley, and has been in the Schweizer family since 1956. This 42 acre gem is located in the heart of the Stags Leap District, just near the base of the Stags Leap Palisades of the Vaca mountain range.
I had the pleasure of shooting the Schweizer Vineyard for Mira Winery on a few separate occasions, and I simply fell in love with the magic of the property.
