GEN 7 Wines: A Legacy of Quality and Tradition
Hey there. I’m Tim Bacino, the sixth-generation winemaker behind GEN 7 Wines.
In the heart of the illustrious Napa Valley, amidst the rolling vineyards and the golden California sun, lies a family legacy that spans nearly two centuries. A legacy built on passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to crafting wines of exceptional quality and character. I'm Tim Bacino, and I'm honored to be the sixth-generation winemaker continuing this tradition at GEN 7 Wines.
A Taste of Tradition
GEN 7 Wines is more than just a winery; it's a family business deeply rooted in tradition, connection, and celebration. Over the years, we've taken our family's legacy to new heights, creating experiences and wines that resonate with wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
One of our proudest achievements has been the establishment of our exquisite Napa Valley tasting room, a place where wine lovers can immerse themselves in the world of GEN 7. Here, you can sample our hand-crafted creations, experience the ambiance of our beautiful vineyards, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of winemaking.
The GEN 7 Wine Club: A Journey Through Excellence
As a testament to our commitment to our patrons, we launched the GEN 7 Wine Club. This exclusive club is more than just a membership; it's an invitation to embark on a remarkable wine journey with us. Our club members enjoy early access to our limited-production wines, exclusive event invitations, and a curated selection of our finest bottles, delivered right to their doorstep.
Honoring Tradition with Revived Classics
Our family's wines have been cherished and enjoyed for generations, gracing the tables of weddings, holiday celebrations, and everyday meals. We recognize the profound role our wines have played in your lives, and we don't take that trust for granted.
In response to your requests and as a tribute to our rich history, we've carefully reformulated and relaunched some of our beloved classics. Take, for example, our Noir de Noir, a wine with a story dating back to the 1800s. Its return is a homage to the enduring bond between GEN 7 Wines and its loyal supporters.
A Commitment to Quality
With nearly two centuries of winemaking experience, our commitment to quality remains unwavering. Each year, I personally visit boutique California vineyards, meticulously tasting and analyzing their fruit. Only the finest, with exceptional characteristics and perfect ripeness, find their way into our wines.
Our winemaking process is a labor of love. We age our wines in the finest French oak barrels for a minimum of 9 to 21 months, allowing them to develop complexity, depth, and elegance. This dedication to crafting exceptional wines has been our hallmark since the very beginning.
The Vineyard AVA Regions
GEN 7 Wines sources its grapes from some of the most renowned vineyard AVA (American Viticultural Area) regions in California. These regions include:
Napa Valley: Renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley offers a diverse terroir that contributes to our exceptional wines.
St. Helena: This sub-region within Napa Valley provides grapes with unique characteristics, adding depth and complexity to our wines.
Russian River: Known for its cool climate, Russian River is perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which we use to craft some of our finest offerings.
Knight's Valley: Nestled in Sonoma County, Knight's Valley provides the grapes for our rich and robust varieties.
Sonoma Coast: The coastal influence here results in wines with bright acidity and a distinct sense of place.
Monterey: From this region, we source grapes for our vibrant and flavorful wines.
Lodi: Known for its old-vine Zinfandel, Lodi contributes to our collection with bold and expressive wines.
Santa Maria: This region's cool climate gives our wines a refreshing and crisp profile.
Santa Barbara: The diverse terroir of Santa Barbara County provides us with grapes for our elegant and balanced wines.
