The estates guest house, which won an AIA award, was designed by noted architect Stanley Saitowitz.
Sothebys International Realty Wine Country agent Ginger Martin represented McCourt in the transaction.
I was drawn to the property by the promise of its remarkable vines, but my decision to buy was strengthened by the stunning contemporary architecture, which beautifully blends into its natural setting, and by the propertys spectacular, expansive views of the surrounding Napa countryside, Jamie said. The vineyard, which was carefully planted and nurtured by its previous owners, is one of the most precious and one of the best in the Napa Valley. Robert Parkers 93-point score for the vineyards 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon and his 92+ score for the 2007 vintage made the wine world stand up and take notice of what was being grown at this elegant address in the Napa Valley. I intend to continue and expand that reputation for excellence, and Im thrilled that David Abreu will be my vineyard manager.
The hillside property, which overlooks the world-famous Auberge du Soleil resort, will be operated as a commercial venture. Wines from the property have appeared on the prestigious lists of many elite restaurants, the Mandarin Oriental and Ritz Carlton Hotels in San Francisco, the Four Seasons Hotel in Santa Barbara, and the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.
