Arkenstone Estate wines are grown, produced, and bottled entirely from our organically farmed vineyard on the western shoulder of Howell Mountain. Rocky soils, high elevation, and a cool mountain climate naturally limit yields, producing fruit of exceptional concentration, structure, and balance. Deeply rooted in this singular site, these wines reflect the precision, restraint, and age-worthy character that define our home vineyard.
Arkenstone began sourcing three separate blocks from the AmoenusVineyard with the 2018 vintage. Situated on the western hills of
northern Calistoga, just south of Knights Valley, Amoenus is a standout addition to our lineup. Farmed by Turnbull winemaker Peter Heitz in
collaboration with Arkenstone's Sam Kaplan, the sloping site ranges from 460 to 860 feet in elevation. Perched above the valley floor, it stays cooler through the summer than neighboring Calistoga vineyards, preserving structure and bright, focused fruit.
Each vintage we hand-select barrels from these three blocks to craft a balanced, nuanced single-vineyard Cabernet. Additional barrels from
Amoenus are blended into our multi-vineyard Cabernet NVD, allowing us to showcase both the site's distinct character and its contribution to our broader Cabernet program.
