Patrick Sullivan
Director of Vineyards and Winemaking
Exit West Wines
Patrick Sullivan was born and raised in Wine Country. He has been active in viticulture since he helped plant his family’s vineyard located on Sonoma Mountain in 1999. Before getting into wine, he received his bachelor degree from U.C. Berkeley in Molecular Cell Biology and later a Master’s degree in Enology from CSU Fresno. He has been working for highly regarded wineries in Napa and Sonoma for 25 years. He has built up an impressive resume starting with Peter Michael and has held the title of winemaker at: Lewis Cellars, Paul Hobbs, Rudd Estate, and Spring Mountain. It is through the many years of hard work and careful observation that allows a winemaker to show the true potential of a vineyard and the great wine that can be produced from it. That is the challenge and the reward that Patrick continues to pursue. He has been working with the Mount Family since 2017. In 2021 They started the Exit West brand.

Exit West is designed to tell the success story of Bordeaux influenced wines grown in America’s most influential wine regions. Where the rolling hills and secluded valleys of the West Coast have no equal. Our vision was to highlight quality farming, unique microclimates, and winemaking at a price all could enjoy. With that we bring you, Exit West Estate Red Blend from our high elevation vineyards in the Red Hills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Bringing luxury West Coast quality winemaking at a practical price.
Born in the crimson soil of the Red Hills, Exit West is focused on Estate Grown wines with meticulous detail. As Exit West developed, so did the dream to highlight single site, high elevation vineyards in the coastal mountain ranges. From our 48-acre Estate we’ve hand selected the most unique vineyard blocks to curate and highlight the personality of the northern Mayacamas mountain range. Pairing our Estate wine with carefully chosen Napa grower, Phelan Ranch, our limited Mount Collection of wines will show the diversity of the west coast mountain ranges. To fit the Mount Collection of wines, each vineyard must sit above 1500ft elevation.
OUR MISSION
Simply put, our aim is to bring the best the west has to offer to your glass. Ideal climate and growing conditions, regenerative farming practices, diverse topography and microclimates lead to wines with as much personality as those who enjoy them.
