Where is Keenan Winery?
3660 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena, CA 94574 — in the Spring Mountain District AVA of Napa Valley, on the eastern slope of the Mayacamas range at about 1,700 feet.
What wines does Keenan make?
Bordeaux-style wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, the proprietary Mernet Reserve blend, Zinfandel, Syrah, and reserve and library bottlings. Production is 10,000–12,000 cases annually, vintage dependent.
Can I picnic at the winery?
Yes — buy a bottle of Keenan wine, bring a picnic, and enjoy both at the outdoor picnic table overlooking the vineyards.
Is the winery accessible?
Yes. Keenan Winery provides ramps, an accessible tasting bar, and website accessibility aids.
Do Keenan wines age well?
Exceptionally. Mountain fruit gives complex, tight-knit tannins and balanced acidity built for the cellar — though their balance makes them delicious now. Dual scores on vintages (e.g., 94/97) reflect 10-year retrospective tastings.
Is Keenan Winery sustainable?
Yes — solar-powered since 2007 and sustainably farmed with organic compost, cover crops, and efficient irrigation.
How do I join the wine club?
