Dr. George Belden Crane is credited along with Charles Krug as one of the major founders of the wine industry in Napa Valley. The vineyard in Saint Helena was originally planted in 1858. Characterized by gravelly loam soil, it was replanted with cabernet sauvignon in 1998. Sourced from the ‘filet’ sections of two specific blocks of the Beckstoffer Dr. Crane vineyard, this sophisticated cabernet sauvignon is known for its muscular structure and intensity. Saint Helena is one of the warmest areas in the Napa Valley, being the further away from the bay than Carneros or Oakville. It is characterized by long, warm summer days, but does receive a gentle, cooling influence in the form of afternoon breezes that come over the Mayacamas Mountains from the Pacific Ocean. Our wines are offered twice per year via allocation to members of our mail list.

First planted in the 1860’s, Stagecoach Vineyard was forced into dormancy during prohibition until it was rediscovered a hundred years later. Situated atop the eastern slopes of the Napa Valley, this is our highest elevation cabernet sauvignon vineyard. The renowned Stagecoach Vineyard sits atop high-elevation Atlas Peak, in Napa Valley. It’s rocky, rustic terrain forces the vines to struggle, producing intensely colored and flavored wines. Stagecoach vineyard is located high above the Napa Valley on the west-facing slopes of the Vaca Mountains near Atlas Peak. Its altitude, above the fog line most of the time, allows for a warm, dry climate. Well-drained volcanic soils quickly cool in the afternoon however, allowing fruit grown here to maintain good acidity. Our wines are offered twice per year via allocation to members of our mail list.
