Winemaker Aaron Pott crafts the wines, emphasizing the property's well-drained, rocky volcanic soils. The winery produces only 300-500 cases annually of this single wine.
About This Wine
Seven Stones Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a micro-production estate in the hills above Meadowood in St. Helena, Napa Valley. First planted in 1996, the estate expanded its Lilliputian vineyard blocks to produce this ultra-premium wine, with the 2018 vintage earning high critical acclaim for its balance and intensity.
