Purlieu is a reference to our home base in the new Coombsville AVA, the edge of the forest and the Napa Valley. Symbolically, Purlieu refers to our approach to winemaking, to exploring the outskirts and navigating the boundaries of what one may expect of a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. For us, the key to successfully walking that edge lies in maintaining balance: between innovation and tradition, confidence and restraint, depth and refreshment.
