2023 · Mountain Cuvée

Ashes & Diamonds is a privately owned Napa Valley producer in California, founded by Kashy Khaledi in 2013. The project draws fruit from a wide range of Napa sites, including estate vineyards, Bates Ranch, Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder, the Vaca Mountains, and the Napa Valley floor. Its wines are shaped by Steve Matthiasson, who leads the white wines and contributes to blends, and Diana Snowden Seysses, who creates the blends and single-vineyard wines. The estate emphasizes terroir-driven, minimal-intervention winemaking. Its A&D Vineyard is farmed organically with minimal irrigation, while site notes highlight naturally balanced vines, low yields, and distinctive expressions from vineyards such as Bates Ranch.
