Nestled against the Mayacamas Mountains on the west side of St. Helena are 12 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon.

St. Helena Mountain is planted with 6′ x 12′ spacing in deep, well drained sandy loam soils. The vines are quadrilateral cordons running West-East with a gentle slope. This provides great drainage for the vineyard. Typical production is 1.5-2.0 tons per acre. Wine characteristics are very concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with rich, dark aromas, a strong mouth feel and long finish. The aroma is quite elevated in the glass leaving the ultimate desire of consumption.
