Founded by Tor Kenward, TOR Napa Valley represents some of the best vineyard sites he knew and revered after spending over four decades in Napa Valley. We focus on single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, cuvées and Bordeaux varietals – each wine is handmade and bottled in a very small quantity. Our secret is to stay out of the way, not to manipulate – preserve a place in time, capture it in a bottle. TOR exists today because of the relationships we’ve cultivated over decades with mentors, grape growers and friends. This is indisputable: Tor knows a great vineyard. Less is always more when it comes to bottling some of the best grapes on the planet. In the tussle between the will of nature and the winemaker – our work is staying out of the way. The TOR winemaking team has been together since the beginning. Jeff Ames is winemaker, and we share a simple rule – the vineyard is what we showcase, not a heavy winemaker’s hand. Each wine is nurtured to bottle unfiltered and unfined.
