V12 Vineyards

V12 Vineyards is a Napa Valley winery founded by Jimmy Vasser, a professional race car driver who brought his winning attitude and work ethic to the world of wine. The estate was transformed from a former chicken ranch into a vineyard in 2006, with the first harvest taking place two years later. The name "V12" represents several aspects of the winery's identity: the Vasser family, Jimmy's racing number 12, and the reference to the powerful V12 engine. Chad Alexander, a Napa Valley native and experienced winemaker, oversees the production of V12 wines. The winery is located in Napa, California, and its focus on quality and excellence is evident in its approach to grapegrowing and winemaking. The estate is divided into four vineyard blocks, each with four clones planted on different rootstocks, allowing for a unique expression of terroir. Jimmy Vasser's background in racing has instilled a sense of determination and teamwork at the winery, which he believes translates well to the world of wine. Visitors can experience the winery's offerings through tastings and tours, although reservations are recommended.
