Marston Family Vineyard is a family-owned estate on Spring Mountain in Napa Valley’s Mayacamas Range, where the Marston family has tended the property for decades. The mountain site, shaped by varied slopes and afternoon coastal breezes, is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and farmed with a philosophy of connection to the soil and minimal intervention, seeking elegance, balance, and a sense of place. Elizabeth Marston manages winery operations, continuing a family legacy rooted in harvest memories and stewardship of the land, including significant conservation donations. Philippe Melka has been winemaker since 1998, following earlier collaborations with Andre Tchelistcheff and Philip Togni. The estate produced limited Cabernet Sauvignon and other small-batch wines, with production ending after the 2018 vintage.
