Canard Vineyard

Canard Vineyard is a wine producer in Napa Valley that began making wines in 1984. The estate was originally the homestead of Reason P. Tucker, and its residence was built in 1859. Rich and Carolyn Czapleski purchased the property in 1983 and assembled a team with managing director Adam Fox, winemaker Brian Graham and their son Adam. Its surviving, dry-farmed Zinfandel vines are more than 140 years old, while later plantings added Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wines include Estate and Estate Reserve Zinfandel, both made with fruit from those old vines. Across its wines, the grapes used are sustainably grown and dry farmed.
