A short walk to the majestic Aldo’s Apex offers the perfect vantage point to view our next-door neighbor’s vineyard, where Castiel Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is currently grown. The vineyard, surrounding forest and rugged mountain scenery remind us of the continuous interaction between the unique natural elements of the site and the vines.

Sustainably farmed by highly acclaimed viticulturist Jim Barbour, the rocky, volcanic soils, excellent drainage and long growing season of this west facing Howell Mountain AVA site combine to produce complex fruit featuring ripe yet age-worthy tannins, crisp acidity and alluring mountain cabernet flavors.
