Welcome to Denali Estate Wine
Denali Estate is a 42-acre property with 14 acres of cabernet sauvignon vines. This ranch is located just above Joseph Phelps winery and overlooks the Napa Valley. “We are very proud of our ranch and feel that our dreams have been exceeded.

Denali Estate’s Heritage
Both Katherine and Walt grew up in harsh winter country—Walt in Fairbanks, Alaska and Katherine in Kalispell, Montana. They are delighted to be able to observe the beautiful vines from bud-break to harvest and to learn new things about grape growing and farming. They had never owned a property from which they could harvest fresh fruits from their orchard at the time the fruit was truly ripe! Amazing. All of the investment and effort they have put into the ranch has truly been a “labor of love.”
They are very proud that the Denali Estate vineyard is beginning to be recognized as a premium hillside vineyard producing grapes that are being made into very highly rated wines.
