Description
This special 2013 blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Atchley Family Vineyard. Situated at 2000ft elevation, contiguous to our property, the wine was crafted from the main vineyard block, planted to a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon 'Clone 7' and 'Clone 8'! We have had the honor of leasing and farming this 5-acre vineyard since 2007 and it is truly an extension of our Estate. Family and friends such as the Atchleys are the backbone of our business, and we are very proud to share this special cuvée with you.

Wesley Steffens
Winemaker, Vineyard 7 & 8
Wesley Steffens’ path in Napa Valley began with a deep respect for craft and place. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, his early career was shaped by formative years at The French Laundry and Harlan Estate, where precision, discipline, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence became foundational to his approach.
That path ultimately led him up Spring Mountain to Vineyard 7 & 8, where he took the reins of his family’s estate and assumed the role of Director & Winemaker. Here, Wes focuses on transparency of site, low-yield precision farming, and thoughtful, minimal-intervention winemaking—allowing each block and vintage to speak clearly and honestly.
At a small, family-owned estate, leadership is as much about restraint as ambition. Wes’s role is to steward the land, guide the wines with intention, and ensure that every decision honors both the past and the future of Vineyard 7 & 8.
