Steve and Seanne Contursi love great wines, especially those from Bordeaux. In 2008, they came across a beautiful farm house in Napa Valley surrounded by a vineyard planted to Cabernet Franc, just like some of their favorite vineyards from France. So began their journey with Arrow&Branch Winery, first with a single bottling of a Cabernet Franc Blend, then slowly adding wines from other renowned sites from across Napa Valley. The Arrow&Branch name pays homage to the Contursi Family’s leadership in the United States rare coin business and to our American heritage. Found on the reverse of most United States coinage is an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons - signifying peace and strength.
