NAPA — Victoria Coleman started her career working the vineyards on the rocky slopes of Atlas Peak, where grapes for the finest Napa wines are grown. But 17 years ago, her mentor, Mario Bazan, asked the UC Davis viticulture student if she wanted to try her hand at actually making wine.
“After the fermentation, I remember tasting the wine out of tank,” she said, “and I thought, oh my god, this is so good, I have to do it again. So that’s kind of where I switched over to the winemaking side of things.” “I just thought she had the potential to be a star winemaker. And we wanted to make the very best wine on the planet if possible” said Wulff. “She has one of the best palates I’ve ever encountered. And she is a complete perfectionist. She spends as much time in the vineyard as she does in the winery. She’s not a prima donna. There are a lot of diva winemakers in Napa. She is not one of them. She’s got it–she’s just got it.
