Above All, Quality.
In the beautiful Saint Helena appellation, atop a slight knoll on the valley floor, sit 22 idyllic acres of black loam and crushed gravel. Gentle slopes, loamy soil and compacted alluvial deposits from the Napa River offer great drainage and temperate conditions, perfect for slow-ripening fruit and complex flavors. Replanted in 2002/2003 after extensive geological and meteorological testing, clones 4, 6, 7, 169, 191, and 337 of Cabernet Sauvignon, and V29 Musque clones of Sauvignon Blanc are densely planted with vines pruned in the two straight cane style. Lower yield harvests result in exceptional flavors and sophistication.
