The Peregrine Falcon of the Napa Valley.
The quiet and perpetual flight and patience of the Falcon has inspired Vultour.
Winemaking
Behind every bottle of Vultour stands a winemaker whose history in Napa Valley runs deep. With decades of experience crafting Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals from the region’s most coveted sites, he has earned multiple 95–98 point accolades across the past decade. His reputation is built not on flash, but on precision, discipline, and an almost relentless pursuit of purity in the glass.His story threads through Napa’s most revered cellars, where he shaped his craft alongside icons before stepping into his own. Today, he channels that legacy into Vultour, sourcing from select vineyard blocks hidden in the Valley’s most hallowed ground, blending wines that strike with both power and restraint.The winemaker’s name may already be familiar, whispered in the upper echelons of the industry. But in Vultour, it is not the name that matters, it is the wine. Dark, commanding, and impossible to ignore.

The 2023 COMMITTEE is crafted by the team at Vultour Wines, now under the direction of Julien Fayard. It delivers a straightforward, classically styled expression of the AVA, charged with blackberry and cherry fruit, graphite minerality, and fragrant wild and dusty herbs. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it offers juicy plum and warm baking spices, with supple tannins framing a full finish of candied violets and building grip.
The 2023 Oakville Committee consulting winemaker is none other than the multiple 100 Point award-winning Julien Fayard. The wine is bold, structured, and profoundly expressive, opening with rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, and subtle notes of garrigue that add an intriguing savory edge. The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced, showcasing a complex, layered mouthfeel with fine-grained tannins that build seamlessly. There is remarkable weight and density, yet the wine retains a sense of vibrancy. Deep flavors of boysenberry and dark cacao unfold gracefully, carrying through to an eternally long finish that lingers with intensity and finesse. A strikingly polished and age-worthy expression of Oakville terroir, offering both power and precision.
