A Turnkey Start in the Wine Business

Red Wine

Lytton Manor Vineyard offers a true turnkey solution for establishing yourself in the world of fine wine. Planted in Sonoma County’s first recognized American Viticultural Area, the famed Dry Creek Valley, this exceptional property is capable of producing up to 2,500 cases of premium Cabernet Sauvignon each year. The vineyard was replanted between 2018 and 2019 with two distinct clones to maximize efficiency, quality, and harvest potential. Expertly farmed and meticulously maintained by Negrete Vineyard Management since November 2024, the vineyard stands ready for the future.

Since 2022, Lytton Manor Vineyard has partnered with Redwood Valley Cellars to craft wines of distinction. Redwood Valley Cellars, operated by the Barra family—visionaries who helped establish Mendocino County wine country in 1955—are widely respected for their deep roots, family traditions, and uncompromising standards.

In 2025, the vineyard is expected to yield approximately 30 tons of Cabernet Sauvignon, equating to roughly 2,000 cases of wine. The vintage promises to be nothing short of spectacular: abundant winter and spring rains, followed by a classic Sonoma summer of warm days and cool nights, have created near-perfect growing conditions. With cool weather extending into fall, the fruit is developing exceptional balance, flavor, and structure. Industry insiders are already calling 2025 a potential “vintage of the decade” for Sonoma County.
