About St. Clement Vineyards
St. Clement Vineyards comes from one of the earliest bonded wineries in Napa Valley established in 1878.  The St. Clement house sits on a large hill that was built by Fritz Rosenbaum. Since then the house has been owned by a variety of people that have produced wine in the backyard of the house.

In 1976, William Casey purchased the house and built a 10,000 case stone winery behind it. Casey's ancestors were founders of Maryland, and as an attribute to them, he used the cross found on the Maryland flag as a part of the logo of St. Clement Vineyards.  

St. Clement is known throughout the wine world for its legacy of highly respected wines produced in small qualities.  St. Clement relies on long-term relationships with some of the best independent wine growers in Napa Valley, to help produce complexity and exceptional depth to each of their wines.

About Danielle Cyrot
Winemaking has always been part of Danielle Cyrot's family.  Cyrot found her passion in winemaking at the University of California at Davis as a result of an  introductory winemaking class taught by popular professor Carole Meredith.  Cyrot never looked back and graduated in 1998 with a degree in Enology and Viticulture.

After venturing to Alsace and South Australia to sharpen her skills, Cyrot returned to Napa Valley in 1999 and joined the Stag's Leap Winery team as an enologist.  In 2003, she was promoted to assistant winemaker for the label.

After six years with Stag's Leap, Cyrot was offered the position of winemaker at St. Clement. Inspired by her trips abroad, Cyrot uses her experiences to influence her own creations and appreciates the philosophy that wine is created in the vineyard.  Cyrot's wines are structured with refined tannins and balanced components that make up everything Cyrot herself likes in a glass of wine.
