Phillip was raised in Napa Valley and discovered his interest in viticulture at age 12 when he began working alongside his father and brothers in his family’s St. Helena vineyard. From there, he went to study agronomy, viticulture and enology at UC Davis. Life then lead Phillip to the vineyards of Burgundy and Bordeaux where he gained a deeper understanding of the history of wine.

“Best known for crafting the impeccable wines at Chappallet for nearly three decades, Phillip has left a multitude of world class wines in his wake. Countless 99 & 100 point wines would be enough for some winemakers, but not Phillip Titus. His constant pursuit of excellence is what puts him in league with the world’s best. “ 2018 marked a new milestone for Phillip. He was named Winemaker of the Year!

“Unlike many acclaimed winemakers who spread themselves across many brands, you won’t find the brilliant winemaking of Phillip Titus behind many labels. Staying true to his dedication to meticulous attention to detail, he refuses to spread himself thin.” We are honored and humbled that Phillip is here to help us create our vision of Napa’s newest, great, boutique winery.
