Description
CourAvant Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, forward-looking expression of St. Helena, crafted by winemaker Sally Johnson Blum. Sourced entirely from CourAvant’s estate vineyard on West Zinfandel Lane, its rocky, alluvial soils at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains give the wine exquisite structure and depth. From venerable old vines, it delivers pure, unadulterated power—layered, intense, and lifted by natural elegance. Precision winemaking fuses modern technology with classical techniques, preserving the fruit’s raw character and vitality. Limited in production, CourAvant is a wine grounded in earth, inspired by sky, and unapologetically alive.
Grown under the sun by day and the stars by night, this wine is CourAvant — grounded in earth, inspired by sky, and unlike anything else.
