stagecoach: Rocky, reddish-brown volcanic soils; very poor. Staying firm to our philosophy that great grapes grow in hard places, Stagecoach provides our wines with intense flavors, firm tannins and a deep garnet color. Named after the stagecoaches that traveled the hills when the vineyard was famous back in the 1800’s, the famed vineyard was added to the Fairchild Estate premium vineyard portfolio beginning with the 2007 vintage. The wine we produce from this spectacular site located above the fog line atop the eastern slopes of Napa Valley possesses the purity and focus of mountain fruit, balanced acidity, and our signature never-ending finish.
