Producer Information
Ovid Napa Valley (often stylised as “Ovid.”) is a producer located on the Pritchard Hill, northwest of Oakville, in Napa Valley, California. The property was established by Mark Nelson and Dana Johnson as a spot for a vacation home after selling their online medical supply company in 1998. The winery is named after the Roman poet Ovid. The estate produces an eponymous, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, Bordeaux style red blend, as well as a Syrah. Two further wines are produced and are also Bordeaux blends. These are the Hexameter (which evolved from the earlier Experiment label and is predominantly based on Cabernet Franc) and the majority Cabernet Sauvignon, Loc.Cit. The Ovid vineyard is composed of extremely rocky soils, and receives plenty of sunlight. The vines struggle to thrive, creating small, concentrated berries with complexity. The wines are fermented in concrete and wood casks before going to barrel for aging.
