Ackerman Family Vineyards

Since our very first days in Coombsville, we’ve been inspired by legendary Napa Valley names and meaningful winemaking. We identify with wines that are rooted in tradition, but made in the spirit of today. Our small vineyard has become synonymous with the quality the Coombsville AVA produces. We never looked back after we released our first commercial vintage in 2007— our 2003 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. About it, Master of Wine Peter Marks’ has said, “…consider yourself fortunate if you still have this in your cellar.”

From the beginning, all of our actions in the vineyard have been purposeful. We began sustainable farming in 2004, and by 2009 we earned our California Certified Organic Farm (CCOF) label – a designation no other Coombsville winery has obtained. To us, it’s a testament to our patience, time, and enthusiasm. Our wines—a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with softer edges and lower alcohol levels—are contemporary expressions that reflect our evolving vineyard valley. As of today, we’ve made only one other wine; Alavigna Tosca, meaning “in the spirit of ” Tuscany. It speaks to our love of approachable wine, down to earth food, sophisticated culture, and special places. For us, it encapsulates “the sweet life.”
