Domaine Helena 2023 7 Favors Cabernet Sauvignon

Domaine Helena is a boutique, family-owned estate situated on the northern slopes of Mount St. Helena, just north of Calistoga. Its vineyards sit at approximately 1,100 feet elevation on volcanic soils, where warm days, cool mountain nights and strong afternoon breezes help Cabernet Sauvignon ripen slowly while maintaining freshness. The estate farms organically and sustainably.
The 2023 7 Favors is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, primarily Clone 7 with Clone 8, sourced from the Mount St. Helena Vineyard. It is made from organically grown grapes and aged for 12 months in oak barrels, predominantly French with approximately 10% American oak.
