Oakville Cross Wine

Jack and Ruthie Rydman moved to Oakville in 1973 with their three sons, Jeffrey, Michael, and Christopher. In 1999 they planted two acres of their property on Oakville Cross Road with 2100 Cabernet Sauvignon vines. The Oakville AVA produces many of the most prized Cabernets in the Napa Valley. As expected, their vines produced exceptional fruit which they sold to nearby wineries. In 2005, because the fruit was of such high quality, they decided to go into the wine business themselves with the help of their sons.
