Palm Bay International’s Taub Family Vineyards has roots in the heart of Napa’s preeminent sites.
One of the most compelling elements about the Napa Valley — and there are many — is its incredible range. It’s an alluring prospect to explore every nook and cranny, every ledge and bench in pursuit of ever-more fascinating ways to express this storied terroir. It’s exactly the driving force behind Taub Family Vineyards and its proprietor, third-generation Marc Taub.
“All the many microclimates, special sites, soil types, and winemaking philosophies … it’s a thrill and an honor to share our version of wines from Napa Valley with fellow enthusiasts,” he says. “These are our purest expressions of this extraordinary territory.”
With a history that stretches back for the better part of a century, the Taub family have spent generations exploring (and pushing the boundaries of) fine wine. In fact, fine wine has always been the family’s north star. And after watching his father and grandfather explore Italy’s mountainous north in the 1970s — ultimately introducing American consumers to fine Italian pinot grigio — Marc and now his son, Jake, are forging new paths in some of Napa’s most exciting appellations and districts.
The valley oak pictured on the labels is a familiar figure in any Napa landscape, honoring the family’s provenance and devotion to careful stewardship of the land; the diamond embedded at the roots signals the legacy of future generations to come.
Taub Family Vineyards represents some of the best sites in Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville, Mount Veeder, and Howell Mountain. Additionally, through a relationship with famed grower Andy Beckstoffer, the Taub family have access to the remarkable Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III and Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper sites — some of the most hallowed soils and microclimates in California. Each wine embodies a pure expression of its respective AVA and microsite, striving for elegance and extraordinary balance between ripe fruit, deftly integrated oak, and velvety-soft tannins.
