Winemaker Notes: I never felt compelled to make my own wine until I visited Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard. It felt like coming home. A foreign outcrop of stony, tough soil in the middle of the typically soft and rich valley floor… it looks more like Bordeaux than St. Helena. They say not to judge a book by its cover, but one look and I knew this place would make great wine, and I needed to make that wine for myself.

Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is one of the heritage vineyards owned and farmed by the Beckstoffer family, and has been planted to vineyard for over 150 years. The clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon vines we use are lyre-trained to let in light and air. The Beckstoffers and I have collaborated over the years to dial in the farming of my portion, in particular, the use of shade cloth to late in the season. The soft filtered light in the heat of summer helps us maintain even ripening, allowing us approachability without sacrificing ageability in the finished wine.

The wines grown from this rocky site are structured and masculine. Left bank-inspired, but very much at home in St. Helena, as I am. This connection with home inspired the crest on the Fait-Main label, from my hometown in Lyon.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "Glass-staining purple and 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard has a more backward, inward style with beautiful darker, savory red and black fruits, spicy oak, graphite, and cocoa powder aromas and flavors. It's rich, powerful, concentrated, and full-bodied, with serious tannins and length. I continue to think this vineyard has hit a new level over the past 4-6 years, and this certainly adds fuel to the fire. Napa Cabernet Sauvignon simply does not get any better. Hide bottles for 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following two decades."
