Founded in 2002 by Napa native and former high-school football coach Ed Snider and his wife Trish, Beau Vigne, meaning beautiful vineyard, built its reputation on mountain-grown Atlas Peak Cabernet. Its founding winemaker was Dave Phinney of Orin Swift and The Prisoner fame, and the Kirk Venge-made 2013 Reserve earned a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
