Honored Signature Vintner

AXR Napa Valley

Mark Schratz, Don Van Laeken and two other friends were doing what they do best, sitting around a table talking and laughing about life, dreams, and slurping some fine wine! Included in the group was Jean Hoefliger, an acclaimed world class winemaker. We decided to pursue their dreams and start the AXR winery in January, 2015. After running a virtual winery and looking for a property for two years, they met Chris and Pauline Tilley and purchased V Madrone Winery in the heart off the Napa Valley in January, 2017. Now the proud owner of two magnificent brands, plan to feature their world-class AXR wines, yet also continue the V Madrone legacy by producing small batch, handmade wines from the estate and other old vine vineyards.
