Bommarito Vineyard
Rutherford AVA, Napa Valley
The History
The Bommarito Vineyard is located on Galleron Road in the Rutherford Appellation of the
Napa Valley. It has produced outstanding grapes since the early 1920’s when Dominic Bommarito purchased the Rutherford property to plant a vineyard and build a summer home.
The historic Napa Valley pioneer Dominic Bommarito was born in Sicily in 1889 and immigrated to the United States in 1903. In the early 1920’s he began construction on his summer
home and moved to this Rutherford estate permanently in 1929 with his wife, four children and
mother. He built five additional homes on the property between 1941 and 1953. Many of the
furnishings in the houses including sinks and plumbing were acquired from surplus at Mare
Island Naval Ship Yard. Dominic Bommarito was a founding member of the Napa Valley Co-Op
and farmed his vineyard until his death in 1963. His wife, Carmen Bommarito, tended to the
vineyard until her death in December 1994. Working by her side was son Salvatore “Toots”
Bommarito. Toots spent his entire life on the property working in the vineyard and tending to
the properties. He retired in 1994. For decades the Bommarito vineyard estate has maintained
a solid reputation for producing outstanding fruit. Currently, the vineyard is planted to three
different grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The rootstocks
in this vineyard were matched to the various soil types, two different trellis systems were implemented and grape clones were selected to yield ultimate fruit flavors.
The Bommarito name continues to be used, recognizing the wonderful history of the Napa
Valley and its pioneers.

IT’S ALL IN THE SOIL: “It takes Rutherford dust to grow great Cabernet”
Andre Tchelistcheff
Bommarito Ranch is located in Rutherford AVA in the Napa Valley. The area is
known for its terroir particularly with its Cabernet Sauvignon. Rutherford offers
a multitude of microclimates and soil types for vintners and growers. Nevertheless, wines produced from the grapes grown here reflects a distinct Rutherford
Character. Area is approx. 6 square miles, beginning just south of Cakebread
Cellars and BV Vineyard #2 along Hwy 29. It ends at Zinfandel Lane, 3.3 miles
to the north, and stretches across the Valley 2 miles at its widest point from Mt.
St. John on the West to the Vaca Mountain Range on the East. What makes
this a distinctive location is the appellation, mix in soils, climate, and the great
exposure surrounding by world-class Napa Valley wineries.
