About us

The 2880 Story
In 2002, former teacher, former wine merchant and former wine importer/distributor, John-Kane-Hartnett, planted 300 vines in the backyard of his Napa Valley home. Today, the juice from those vines is the heart of 2880 Napa Valley Red Wine.
When people ask his wife Betsy, “Why 2880?” she tells them, “It’s the number of minutes it took John to realize he didn’t want our second date to end.” John tells them, “It’s our address.” Either way, 2880 is a labor of love and a celebration of family and friends.
Why DYN? If you are familiar with the children’s book, CDB, written and illustrated by William Steig and published in 1968, you may have already guessed the answer. DYN stands for dee-why-en as in “the wine”.

Winemaker Comments

Fruit is the predominant flavor in the 2013 vintage of 2880 Red Wine thanks to the three signature Rhone varieties – Grenache, Syrah, and Petite Sirah – that are planted in our tiny one-third acre estate vineyard (aka Backyard) in Calistoga. Aromatically, there is dark fruit (black cherries and blackberries) and a lift of red fruit too (muddled strawberries and bright red cherries). There’s also a hair of bergamot tea or orange rind, which gives the blend finesse. To compliment and round out the barrels of our hand-picked artisan field blend, we added Grenache from McGah Family Vineyards in Rutherford and Petite Sirah from Pocai Vineyard in Calistoga which sits just north of Three Palms Vineyard. Pocai’s serpentine soils produce inky goodness (think huckleberry pie), and the Rutherford Grenache, with its world famous “Rutherford Dust” lifts and focuses the fruit. Both commingle with the red tones of our estate fruit to yield a wine with a super delicious mouthfeel and taste.

Winemaker Comments

With intoxicating aromas of grapefruit, guava and melon, the 2014 SB exhibits bright fruit flavors balanced by a slight minerality. It is crisp and lively with medium body and a lasting finish.

Winemaker Comments

Our 2014 Rosé is the offspring of the judicious Saignée of 2014 Syrah (wherein juice is bled from red wine in the first hour of maceration to intensify and compact the density of the resulting wine). Soft rose petals meet the eye. Farm ripe strawberries and muddled raspberries go for broke aromatically. 2880 Rosé is a delightfully dry and crisp wine of the pink persuasion.
