“Behind Napa Valley’s Hard-to-Find Pinot Noir”
“Haynes Vineyard, planted in 1966, is the oldest modern vineyard in the region, primarily Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Bill Cadman at Tulocay, Coombsville’s oldest winery, has been buying fruit from Duncan Haynes since a handshake deal brought them together in 1975.”
“If anyone is qualified to speak about the history of Coombsville, it’s Bill Cadman, whose Tulocay winery, founded in 1975, was the first ... Cadman’s Cabernet and Pinot Noir are a testament to the diverse potential of the region.”
“Every wine I have had from Tulocay has been pleasurable with a sense of place, in a distinctive California style. It’s hard to balance approachable, but classic, yet that’s what Tulocay does, at a reachable price point, to boot.”

“The original traditionalist. Still making delicious, super traditional and utterly well-priced PN, Chard, and Cab.”
— Mia Van de Water, Wine Director
“Anyone in the wine trade or any serious wine collector, no matter how vast and/or noble their experience, would have been astonished by the stature of this wine today. It is truly a lovely wine, satisfying, vibrant despite its thirty years of age, perfectly balanced.”
— Neal Rosenthal, January 2015, on the 1985 Haynes Vineyard Pinot Noir
“Bill Cadman is a legend in my eyes. Phenomenal Cab, Zin, Pinot, and Chard that no one knows about.”
