The 7-acre Green Room Vineyard on Howell Mountain is our northernmost growing site. We make an average of 768 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon annually with the grapes we grow here. The vineyard is on the east side of the Napa Valley at about 1,600 feet in elevation, and because of its altitude, temperatures here are much cooler than vineyards on the Napa Valley floor. That translates to a later bud break and later harvest, which results in grapes that strike an excellent balance between sugar and acidity.
