About The Producer
Internet pioneer and early leader of AOL, Barry Schuler bought the property that would become Meteor Vineyard along with his wife Tracy in 1998 and hired legendary viticulturist, Mike Wolf to assess the potential of the land. Their parcel sits on a slope in Napa Valley’s Coombsville appellation, overtop stony, volcanic soils ideal for cabernet sauvignon. Since their inaugural vintage in 2005, the Schulers have partnered with winemakers Bill and Dawnine Dyer to craft elegant, balanced wines that are built to age for decades. They produce just two estate wines, both 100% Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon.
