Laird Family Estate, based in Napa, California, operates as a small- to mid-sized beverage producer and grape grower with roots dating to 1970. For decades it supplied fruit to ultra-premium wineries in Napa and Sonoma, including Cakebread, Merryvale, Chappellet, Far Niente, Joseph Phelps, Duckhorn, and Kendall Jackson. In 1998 the family established its own winery and production facility, a site that has drawn renowned winemakers and wineries to produce and cellar their wines, and is described in materials as a technologically advanced operation. Led by Ken Laird, with Rebecca as general manager and Justin as president of vineyard operations, the estate produces a portfolio that includes Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Jillian's Blend, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with Paul Hobbs serving as consulting winemaker. The glass-enclosed tasting room and gift shop in Napa operates daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with appointments available or visitors able to call toll-free 877-297-4902 ex 26.
