Founded by former San Francisco Mayor, now Ca. Lt. Governor, Gavin Newsom, and Gordon Getty (yup, those Gettys), the Oakville winery is one of 16 separate businesses under the Plumpjack umbrella. Known as the first estate to bottle their top offerings with Stelvin (screwcap) closures, their Cabernet is legendary, but it's their full-throttle Chardonnay that still flies under the radar.
