The fruit for Clif Family Wines is sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley and North Coast appellations. We specifically search for fruit from growers that have demonstrated a commitment to the environment and sustainable farming of their land. While we may not always be able to source from sustainably farmed or organic vineyards, we hope that each vintage will get us closer to this goal.

Sarah Gott, Winemaker

Sarah Gott joined Clif Family Winery as consulting winemaker in early 2007. Sarah's experience working with premium Napa Valley wineries, her interest in organically sourced wines, and the fact that she is a great triathlete make her a perfect fit for Clif Family Winery.

Graduating from the University of California at Davis with a degree in Viticulture and Enology, Sarah began an internship in 1993 with Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the Napa Valley, one of California's most esteemed wineries. She quickly moved up the ranks to winemaker and remained there until 2002. Sarah left Joseph Phelps to become winemaker at Quintessa where she focused on producing a Bordeaux-style red wine.

Sarah now spends her time building Joel Gott Wines with her husband, and consulting for a few Napa Valley wineries, including Clif Family Winery.
