    Emilio's Terrace

    "While all the vineyards with an Oakville appellation produce distinctive wines that exhibit classic aromas, flavors and color intensity characteristic of Oakville wines, Emilio's Terrace is graced with added character from the unique growing conditions provided by the steep slope of its terraced vineyard. Phil Schlein purchased his 48-acre Oakville property in 1977. The jewel of this property, Emilio's Terrace, a 4 1/2-acre 100% organic hillside vineyard was first planted with wine grapes in 1990. This planting represents the realization of the Schlein family's long-held ream of producing superior Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Phil views his property as a refuge from the hectic pace of everyday life, and he readily opens his Napa Valley sanctuary to family and friends eager to experience its tranquil beauty."
