Growing Conditions

The fruit for this wine comes primarily from two blocks of our Mario’s Vineyard. This jewel of a site surrounds our winery in St. Helena, running along a narrow, 13-acre stretch formed by river erosion. Its northwest exposure, coupled with a mix of gravel, loam and alluvial soils, makes it ideally suited for a classic style of Cabernet Sauvignon: red fruit driven with savory and floral notes and a medium body.
