Welcome to Viader

(pronounced vee-ah-“dare”)

VIADER is a leading first growth Napa Valley winery estate established on the lower reaches of Howell Mountain in 1986 by Delia Viader, and recognized around the world (view international press) for consistently producing high quality and very limited production red wines. (Map & Directions)

The signature wine, VIADER Proprietary Red Blend, has featured Cabernet Sauvignon with a significant component of Cabernet Franc since the inaugural vintage in 1989. “V” is an exclusive Petit Verdot blend. Our estate VIADER Syrah is clonal blend of Barossa and Hermitage clones of Syrah.

The VIADER Estate Limited Edition, or "Black Label" is a blend created through hand-selection of our most promising lots representing our mountain estate terroir.

Starting in 2003, the DARE by Viader line focuses on single varieties and includes DARE Cabernet Sauvignon, DARE Cabernet Franc, DARE Tempranillo, and a very limited amount of Cabernet-based dry DARE Rose.

Winemaker's quote:

"When you taste wine from a great vineyard, it has a distinct personality: a taste, a feel, a look; something that makes it different from any vineyard in the world.

This distinct personality, however, is the sum of a variety of personalities within the vineyard itself.

Understanding and interpreting those personalities is the greatest challenge in the evolution of a great vineyard and the wine produced from it."
