At Forthright, the wine we produce in the historic Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley reflects our values and way of life. Sourcing fruit from the best local growers, we craft premier-quality wines in limited quantities. Honesty guides us, as does simplicity, joy and an unwavering commitment to hand crafted elegance. It is our belief that Forthright varietals and blends are among the best wines you will find in California.

Our signature Merlots, along with our red Bordeaux blend, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay offerings, are joined by other styles only in years when the fruit, and resulting wines, meet our high standards. We refuse to release a wine that is not an exquisite expression of its particular style or variety.

The craft of boutique winemaking is our life’s work. We invite you to join the Forthright Fellowship, or come taste with our winemakers in our 6,000-square-foot cave, one of the most intimate and enchanting wine visitor settings in the United States.
