St. Helena, Napa Valley, California
Saint Helena Winery
Founded in 2000 to make estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon in very small quantities for collectors.
The story
Where the wine comes from
Saint Helena Winery was founded in 2000 in St. Helena, Napa Valley, to promote estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon for curious buyers looking past the big brands for something rarer.
The lineup is deliberately small: three estate Cabernet Sauvignons, a Chardonnay, and a handful of very small specialty bottlings. Winemaker Lindsey Wallingford works alongside consulting winemaker Aaron Pott.
These are wines few people will ever taste — which is exactly why they belong in a living room with the story attached.
