Cobden Wini began as a dream built on family, friendship, and a love of great wine (and dogs). The name honors Mark’s parents, Christopher Cobden Davis and Mary Winifred Davis, whose encouragement inspired him to pack up everything and head West to start a new adventure. That adventure got even more exciting when he met Megan, who had recently traded New York City for the Napa Valley. Between vineyard walks, grape stomps, and the help of an incredibly special pup named Paddy, the two discovered that their shared passions were only the beginning. Cobden Wini is the result: a shared life, a shared craft, and a celebration of what brings people together. So grab a glass, break out the corkscrew, and enjoy!!!

Winemaker Mark Davis has always had a soft spot for Cabernet Franc. After graduating from UC Davis, he made a point of seeking out Napa Valley expressions of the variety wherever he could. When grown in the right setting, Cab Franc can produce beautifully nuanced, captivating wines—and Oakville’s Old Federal Vineyard is one of those special places. In 2022, we were fortunate to source fruit from this site once again. The result is a wine that’s silky and smooth, bursting with fruit-driven aromatics and subtle floral notes. The finish is exceptionally long, with velvety tannins that provide a complete, elegant structure. Another standout expression from the legendary Old Federal Vineyard.

Due to the incredible support of loyal customers such as yourself, our wines have been selling out quickly. Because of this, we have decided to launch a club that will allow you priority access to each of our wines. Members of Cobden Wini will receive two allocations per year, as well as first access to all new releases, library selections, large formats, and member-only wines.  Members also get exclusive deals throughout the year and special gifts!
