Cornell Vineyards

Almost twenty years ago Henry and Vanessa Cornell purchased a plot of rugged, untamed ground in the Mayacamas Range just west of the Spring Mountain District. They discovered where vines had been tended by early settlers years ago and with respect for the land, they returned the rolling hillsides to vineyard. Two hundred forty wild acres with sweeping views contain twenty acres of obsessively farmed vineyard blocks, each with its own distinctive imprint. Under the guidance of winemakers Francoise Peschon and Elizabeth Tangney, they strive to make a Cabernet Sauvignon that is faithful to the diversity of this impressive land.
