On the Vine

The grapes for our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon come primarily from the Flora Springs Estate in Rutherford, as well as our Crossroads Ranch in Oakville and Cypress Ranch in Pope Valley. Our collection of vineyards throughout the Napa Valley allows us the opportunity to utilize the diverse soils and microclimates, which make Napa Valley one of the premier wine growing regions in the world.
