At The Top of
Howell Mountain
Our Story
On the crest of Howell Mountain, above the fog line and surrounded by quiet forest, sits a vineyard shaped by intention rather than chance.
Great Oak Vineyard takes its name from the black oak that stands at the center of the property, a tree the founders chose to preserve when the vineyard was first planted in 2016.
Nick and Valerie Roger farm this site with a simple conviction: exceptional wine begins with exceptional land and high-quality farming. The volcanic soil, its mountain elevation, along with warm, long growing days and cool nights provide the foundation for high quality fruit and relationships they build with winemakers who craft the fruit into something special.
A Legacy Rooted In Place
Great Oak Vineyard’s Howell Mountain Cabernet brings structure and clarity — with consistently outstanding fruit.
Great Oak Vineyard is known for fruit and depth, benefitting from positions above the fog line that provide warm days and cool nights yielding beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
Defined By Soil
Soil & Fruit
Soil, climate and thoughtful clonal selection shape the character of our fruit. The volcanic rock, cool mornings and balanced vine material work together to create Cabernet Sauvignon with structure, depth and a clear sense of place.
