Henry and Vanessa Cornell purchased a plot of rugged, untamed soil on a former
stagecoach route on the top of Spring Mountain where vines had been tended by early settlers. With respect for the land foremost in their minds, they returned the rolling hillsides to vineyards. Two hundred wild acres with sweeping views
contain twenty acres of obsessively farmed vineyard blocks, each with its own distinctive imprint.

Under the guidance of winemakers Françoise Peschon and Elizabeth Tangney, Cornell Vineyards strives to make a Cabernet Sauvignon that is faithful to the diversity of this impressive land.
