Founded in 1882 by Alfred Tubbs, who planted vineyards and constructed the gothic-styled, stone walled castle that defines the estate, Chateau Montelena (a contraction of Mount Saint Helena, at whose base the winery is located) passed into the hands of Yort Wing Frank in the 1950's and finally to the Barrett family. The historic 1976 Judgement of Paris put them on the international map. Napa royalty.
