DETERT FAMILY HISTORY

Our great-grandfather, Richard Detert, came to the US from Germany in 1909 at the age of 23 and eventually made his way to CA in 1926 to manage his uncle’s (W.F. Detert, who came thethe U.S. in 1866) various properties. Richard and our great-grandmother, Hedwig Detert (known to us as Mutti), lived in San Francisco and travelled to the Guenoc Ranch regularly. It was through these multi-day trips, prior to the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, that our great-grandmother fell in love with the Napa Valley.

W.F Detert died in 1929. Our great-grandfather, Richard Detert, died in 1951. At that time, our great-grandmother sold the Guenoc Ranch and used those proceeds to purchase 50 acres of the To Kalon Vineyard from Martin Stelling’s estate in Oakville in 1954. She renamed the property the “Detert Vineyard”.

It is 3 Great Grandsons of Richard & Hedwig Detert - Brothers Tom & John Garrett and their cousin Bill Cover who operate the winery

Detert Description

TASTING NOTES - The ultimate expression of the Detert Vineyard, the 2019 CABERNET FRANC EAST BLOCK exudes old-vine character with complexity and sophistication. Spectacularly aromatic, showing a range of thyme, grilled herbs, cassis and baking chocolate. Textured, powerful but also elegant and energetic in the mouth. Lush and palate coating, with complex flavors of black cherry, cured meats, black licorice, gun flint and cassis. Great density but also precise, lively and beautifully layered. Finishes with fine grained-tannins and flavors that keep gliding.
