History
Established in 1992, Dutch Henry Winery is a small family-owned and operated winery in Napa Valley. The Chafen family takes great pride in caring for and nurturing all aspects of the winery and vineyards. Less and Maggie Chafen have grown grapes in Napa Valley for nearly 20 years. Their son, Scott Chafen oversees the daily operations of Dutch Henry Winery.

Less is a Bay Area radiologist, specializing in nuclear medicine and breast imaging technology.
Born in Texas and raised in Virginia, Less brings an intellectual sensibility to the winery and keeps a keen eye on the financial well-being of winery operations. He is devoted to the vineyards that are the foundation of Dutch Henry wines.

Maggie is the arbiter of style at Dutch Henry. She owns Dottie Doolittle in San Francisco where the best dressed children take their parents to shop. A California native and Master Gardener, Maggie is famous for hosting elegantly casual gatherings at their St. Helena hillside retreat, Northfork Ranch. Her cuisine features freshly harvested produce and estate olive oil from her gardens and orchards.

Vineyard Information
All of Dutch Henry's Chafen vineyards are located in the northeast quadrant of the Napa Valley AVA, where the dominant visual backdrop is provided by the dramatic Palisades, formed by volcanism and seismic uplifting.

The winery block is situated along the renowned Silverado Trail. The original stagecoach trail actually runs through the winery property. This vineyard is just under two acres in size and planted to Syrah from the Estrella River clone.

This clone is notable for aromatic black fruit with notes of spice. The soils here, primarily sand underlain with fourteen percent rock, silt and clay, coupled with an inexplicable "hot-spot" effect of the situs, are prime conditions for the varietal.

About two miles to the south and east along North Crystal Springs Road, is the vineyard that Scott Chafen calls the "jewel in the crown." Chafen Vineyards is nestled along the southwestern-facing slopes of the Vaca mountain range and overlooks the entire eastside of the valley. Comprising two vineyards situated at 800 and 1200 feet elevations, Chafen Vineyards is planted to a total of twenty two acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in a variety of clones, including Clones 4, 8, 15, 337 and See, as well as Petite Verdot. The soils here are up to thirty percent rock, overlain with sand and volcanic veins, providing optimal drainage and restraining the vines just enough to bring about concentrated flavors.
