Howell Mountain - Ink Grade Block -Organically Certified Vineyard
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has been the signature wine of Cornerstone Cellars since our first vintage was made by founders Mike Dragutsky and David Sloas with fruit sourced from Randy Dunn in 1991. Today that wine is still glorious, a tribute to the longevity of wines made from Howell Mountain fruit. Our Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is entirely produced from an organically certified vineyard, farmed by master viticulturist Mark Neal, on a rugged mountainside at 1800 feet. The white tufa soils, consisting of decomposed volcanic ash, stress the vines and the fruit produced creates wines with intense varietal and vineyard character and firm tannins. Wines from this vineyard are profound, complex and concentrated and will age for many years. With proper aging this wine can attain true greatness.

Oakville: Casanova and The Davis Block - Sustainable Farming
Our two Oakville vineyards lie at the extreme east and west of the AVA. The Casanova Vineyard is in the red, rocky hillsides on the east and the Davis Block (bottom) is tucked into the famous To Kalon Vineyard on the west.

The Hardman Road Block - Organically Certified Vineyard
Located in the cooler southeast corner of the Napa Valley, our Hardman Road Block produces a more refined, balanced wine that adds structure and grace to our Napa Valley. Pictured above: Winemaker Jeff Keene with viticulturist Jason Jaeger in our Hardman Road Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
