Pure expression of intense aromas of black currants, dark berries, leather, tobacco leaves. Inky and powerful on the palate, amazing mouthfeel and very smooth texture. Structured tannins, and very long and pleasant finish. Extremely balanced. 87% Cab Sauv. 9.5% petit Verdot and 3.5% Malbec all sourced from their own vineyards (Ehlers Lane). Simply delicious! — 8 days ago

Solid 2018 from Ehlers. This #sthelenacab is delicious and smooth. One of my favorites from Premiere Napa Valley 2020 #pnv20 #pnv2020 20 cases produced. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Ehlers’ organic estate vineyard, which produces wines of great distinction
Located in the north end of St. Helena, the vineyard is composed of very shallow, gravelly loam soils
The wine is unfined, unfiltered and is aging in 100% new French oak
Your wine is the first vintage from winemaker Laura Díaz Muñoz

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Block 4 on our property which is our highest elevation block. The Cone See vines are planted in volcanic soil, the same profile found on Howell Mountain. Our vineyards have been farmed organically since 2005 and certified since 2008. This 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best expressions of the estate - rich in tannins and color, aromas of boysenberry, raspberry jam and forest floor herbs promise the potential of getting better in the years to come.

Aromas are off the charts lush blueberry and fruit. Wild. Taste is fruity and smooth with a bit of balance to avoid juiciness. Just enough structure — 8 months ago
