Description
Napa Valley is a diverse viticultural region, with many varieties planted throughout. Bougetz Cellars focuses on providing a view into these different areas with wines from a handful of different appellations. Single vineyard bottlings are not common for us, and it’s even rarer for us to bottle a wine from a single block. But this particular block at Stagecoach Vineyard, in the Pritchard hill section of the vineyard, produces a unique blend of lush black fruit flavors, with shear elegance.
The Cabernet Sauvignon from this block generally goes into the blend for our Prominence Reserve bottling. This barrel was just too good on its own to blend in with anything else.
Wine Facts
- Single vineyard wine
- Sustainably produced

Winemaker, Bougetz Cellars
After working a couple of harvest in the Pacific Northwest, I settled in the Napa Valley and have focused the past eight years on creating beautiful Cabernet Sauvignons and Bordeaux blends.
With the assistance of Kian Tavakoli, our consulting winemaker, we spend lots of time in the vineyards, selecting particular blocks to use for our wines.

Winemaking Philosophy:
We start in the vineyard by selecting blocks from very well managed vineyards, choosing to begin with the best fruit possible. In the cellar, we focus on method that assist in extracting the most from the fruit, while still handling it as gentle as possible. Minimal movement of the wine during aging with as little interruptions as possible. All wines are blended, as we have multiple rounds of barrel selection, and blending to put together the blends that best display the vintage and vineyard sites.
