The Story
Plinth Wine is on a mission to bring the most delightful elements of the Napa Valley to wine lovers far and wide.
Our journey began with founder Flora Chang crafting wines amidst the splendor of Pritchard Hill in 2011. Flora’s profound connection to the land and wines led her to launch Plinth alongside her esteemed winemaker and mentor, Philippe Melka, after her inaugural wine company was acquired by Realm Cellars in 2022.

The Wines
2022 Plinth Vinturist Cabernet Sauvignon
Crafted from sites on Pritchard Hill, Oakville, and Saint Helena, we consider this wine a showcase of the “art of the blend.”
The nose reveals elegant aromas of ripe plum, sweet red cherry, and rosemary, all beautifully integrated. The mouthfeel is smooth and balanced. Lingering notes of licorice and soft, ripe tannins create a delightful and lasting finish.
$150 per bottle
2023 Plinth Sauvignon Blanc
Hailed the vintage of a lifetime, our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc demonstrates striking balance, maintaining our signature profile of citrus and tropical fruit with mouth-filling roundness. It seduces with a harmonious balance between opulence and purity.
As always, our Sauvignon Blanc ages on a combination of concrete, new oak, and neutral oak, yielding a wine that lives in the tension of playfulness and intensity.
