Founded by Joe and Alice Heitz in 1961, their eponymous winery is one of the handful that put Napa on the map. Now helmed by daughter Kathleen, with brother David continuing his nearly 4 decades of winemaking duties. From vineyards planted to Portuguese varieties in the early 90's, their Ink Grade Port, a blend of several vintages, has been a tasty pleasure since 1994.
