AboutAshes & Diamonds
Ashes & Diamonds takes its inspiration from Napa Valley’s wine culture of the 1960s. Its Howard Lane winery reflects that influence in a mid-century modern design, with a zig-zag roof and porthole details. In the cellar, light-handed winemaking is intended to bring out the character of each vineyard.
