Cache Creek Vineyards 2021 Chardonnay

2003 was the first vintage Cache Creek Vineyards sold grapes to wineries in Napa and Lake County, and the response to the fruit was excellent. In 2004, Bill Van Pelt passed away. His son Don, who was managing the vineyard and property for the family, wanted to acknowledge Bill’s legacy. With vineyards producing exquisite grapes, Don, with the support of the Van Pelt family, decided to create a winery that honored their father and his dream of the Tule Elk sanctuary. Today Don, his wife Margie, and their daughter Kaitlyn Wright manage the day-to-day operations of the winery. The grapes used in Cache Creek wines are 100% estate grown. An image of a Tule Elk adorns every bottle of our wine. Bill Van Pelt’s vision, love for the property, and his bond with the Tule Elk live on through the winery, the vineyards, and his family.
