The Dirt Behind the Bottle: Chavez Leeds Cabernet Franc

August 6, 2026

Take a stroll through the beautiful Cabernet Franc block on the Chavez Leeds Ranch with longtime Napa Valley Grapegrower Frank Leeds and his daughter Viticulturist Lauren Leeds Pesch, the father daughter farming team behind this storied Napa Valley vineyard, which has been in their family for more than 100 years. The ranch, situated just to the south of our Williams Rossi Ranch is a key site for our flagship Estate Cabernet as well as the sole source of fruit for our single vineyard Chavez Leeds Cabernet Franc, a longtime Fellowship favorite (and winery exclusive).
