Fortunate Son and Summer Dreams wines, the latter marking his
return to Burgundian varieties.
Fortunate Son
Woodbridge and Hundred Acre Wine Group recently purchased
Madrigal Family Winery in Calistoga, adding to his growing wine
empire.
In 2020, Woodbridge purchased the David Fulton Ranch, which
was one of the first vineyards and wineries established in
Napa Valley. Then, in 2022, he
bought an 18-acre vineyard on Calistoga's Larkmead Lane; Woodbridge said
he'd admired the vineyard, first planted in 1882, from afar for 30
years. Madrigal, previously owned by Napa's famed Duckhorn Vineyards, is less than
a half mile from the Larkmead site and within five miles of
David Fulton. The three
vineyards, and two winery properties will be home to Fortunate Son
wines with tasting rooms planned. The Fortunate Son portfolio
consists of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet
Sauvignon Blends produced from these small family vineyards.
Summer Dreams
In Sonoma, Woodbridge acquired
the historic Peterson Ranch and
vineyards as home to Summer Dreams, a portfolio consisting of
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé.
Future plans include a Summer Dreams tasting room at the historic
ranch.
