Stephen Vincent Wines
Led by fourth-generation grower Joseph J.D. 'Joey' Franzia, we cultivate single-vineyard Sonoma expressions. Unhurried aging meets raw agricultural authority = Exceptional Pinot Noir
Four Generations One Goal
The Joseph J.D. Franzia Heritage
Cultivated by Legacy
For more than 130 years, our family has been rooted in California agriculture, working the land and building a legacy shaped by vineyards, farming, and wine. Today, Joseph J.D. Franzia carries that heritage forward with a distinctly modern perspective—honoring generations of grower experience while creating wines defined by authenticity, character, and a fresh north coast spirit.
We never rush the process. The cool coastal fog and long growing season set the rhythm, allowing the fruit to develop slowly and naturally. The result is a highly limited collection of North Coast wines crafted with patience, precision, and a deep respect for place.
The Philosophy
North Coast Character. Made to Be Shared.
Stephen Vincent Wines was founded on friendship, a passion for wine, and a shared love of Northern California. Our philosophy is to craft honest, expressive wines that reflect the character of the North Coast while remaining balanced, approachable, and enjoyable from the first glass to the last.
We believe great wine does not need to be complicated. It should show a sense of place, respect the fruit, and bring people together. From cool-climate Chardonnay to silky Pinot Noir, every Stephen Vincent wine is made with that same purpose: thoughtful winemaking, genuine character, and a natural place at the table with food, family, and friends.
