Clos Pegase

Clos Pegase is a landmark Calistoga winery established in 1984 by publisher Jan Shrem and his wife Mitsuko, who commissioned architect Michael Graves to design one of Napa Valley's most architecturally distinctive wineries — a postmodern temple dedicated to wine and art. The estate farms vineyards in Calistoga and Carneros, producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The Hommage series represents the premium tier, sourced from the estate's most prized Calistoga blocks. At auction, 138 lots have traded at an average of $57, ranging from $1 to $400. Standard Cabernet leads at 38 lots averaging $45; Hommage Palisades Vineyard averages $54 across 25 lots; Hommage Artist Series Tenma Cabernet averages $91 across 24 lots, with the artist-series label rotated annually. Clos Pegase was acquired by Vintage Wine Estates in 2013, ending the Shrem family ownership.
