Husic Vineyards

In 1995 Julie and Frank Husic purchased 120 acres in and above the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley.  They quickly learned if they wanted to plant grapes, they would have to act fast.  An anti-hillside planting law was being put into effect.  Vineyard manager Jim Barbour was hired; they were permitted in 1996, and planted in 1997.  Three Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were planted, totaling nine acres. The vineyards exceed 40% slope, going from the Valley floor to 1,000 feet.  These beautiful, steep, rocky vineyards produced their first mature crop in 2001, which was released in 2004. A Sonoma Chardonnay was added in 2005, and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir in 2010.  Estate wine Palm Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon is also a brand produced by Husic Vineyards, different only in the blending process.  Michael Hirby is Husic Vineyards winemaker.  Husic Vineyards is a small family owned business.  Sons FJ, age 13, and Paris, age 12, round out the team, helping with bottling and entertaining clients!

The Husic family feels very blessed to have these incredible vineyards, which, in-turn produce incredible grapes, then incredible wine.  One of the benefits of making award-winning wines is to be invited by charitable organizations to help raise money for their deserving causes.  It is part of the Husic family’s passion to donate their time, and auction lots, to help raise much needed funds to help people, and especially children.
