Lortum Riché Vineyards is owned and operated by the second generation of our family. We are a winery specializing in creating eloquent wines with unforgettable concentration and a genuine expression of luxury.What's with the name? We get that a lot. Lortum comes from the words lor and tum. Combined, they form a "ripe exclamation of surprise." Adding Riché... "rich, ripe, exclamation of surprise" can be found in every one of our bottles. Clever? Yes, we think so!

RENOWNED FARMERS
In addition to a state-of-the-art winemaking facility and partnerships with Napa Valley's most renowned farmers, we first believe a great wine starts in the vineyards. To promote natural balance, we have dedicated ourselves to partner with growers whose principles are in line with ours.
OUR WINEMAKER
Victor is considered one of Napa Valley’s best viticulturists and winemakers. He was hand picked a few years back by owners of Lortum Riché, to catapult the brand to stardom, in what can only be described as a major coup for the winery. Vic made his name by managing the vineyards for the likes of Cardinale, La Jota and Cakebread Cellars. In his words, he aims for “energy, darkness and nuance” in wine, respecting the quality of highly meticulous viticulture and extremely delicate handling of the fruit once in the cellar. He believes like anything in life, a heavy hand will leave its mark. A true iron fist in a velvet glove.

cabernet sauvignon
row 48.cask 3
True to Victor's pursuit of energy, darkness, and nuance, this wine opens with deep aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and crushed violet, layered with graphite, cedar, and a whisper of mocha. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet precise — full-bodied richness delivered with the delicate hand that defines Lortum Riché's approach. Refined tannins build through the mid-palate, resolving into a long, luxurious finish.
