Accolades
“Storms out of the glass with powerful scents of crème de cassis, prunes, and fruit cake, giving way to wafts of cigar box, incense, iron ore, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is completely coated with black fruit preserves...”
“It's a bit peppery-spicy on the nose, rounded out by leather or suede-like notes, and mixed red and black fruit—think cherries and blackberries. Full-bodied and supple, it boasts a ripe, creamy texture and a long, velvety finish.…”
“A big, brawny wine with sandy tannins wrapped around extra-ripe black fruit on a full body. It's deep in dark chocolate, oak char, dried blackberries and espresso flavors. Drink or hold....”
“It could very well be one of the best Napa Valley reds to emanate from the region in recent years. Do not hesitate or deliberate if you are ever fortunate to have in your presence a soul generous enough to offer to open a bottle. Extraordinary stuff.”

A Tale of Two Terroirs
Winery Ranch, Stags Leap District
Stella Knight Vineyard, Diamond Mountain District
Acquired in 2013 by my grandfather Paul and father, the Stella Knight Vineyard in Calistoga, Diamond Mountain District enjoys the welcome shade of the afternoon sun. This unique terroir, combined with Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon in Block 3, results in a balanced fruit profile and refreshing acidity with a rich structure, all accentuated by a warm Mediterranean climate.
