Winemaker Robin Lail is 5th generation Napa aristocracy, preceded by Gustave Niebaum and her father John Daniels - the founder and greatest winemaker respectively of the legendary Inglenook winery. She is an impressive figure in her own right, having co-founded both Dominus with Christian Moueix, and and Merryvale with Bill Harlan. She set up on her own in 1995 and the J Daniel Cuvée, named for her father, is a selection of different parcels from some of Napa's finest vineyards across the valley. It is consistently one of the best wines in Napa.
