Some of Napa's most historic and acclaimed wineries come from St. Helena. Located in the northern reaches of the valley, nestled between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains, vineyards stretch out above the valley floor on mountain benchlands and alluvial fans of soils generally comprised of volcanic and sedimentary matter. The mix of hillside vineyards and deep soils allow the roots to dig deep for nutrients thus creating Cabernet Sauvignon with intense concentration of flavor and color. With warm days and cool nights St. Helena is known for producing excellent wines with perfect balance and acidity.
Ninety + Cellars Collector Series
Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 173 St. Helena 2017
An impressive and age-worthy Napa Cabernet Sauvignon out of Historic St. Helena. Perfect to drink now but can be cellared away for 5-10 years.
The grapes are harvested, destemmed and sorted before a cool maceration designed to extract maximum color and flavor. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures resulting in a wine that retains varietal character and balanced tannins. After a gentle pressing, the wine is racked in to a mix of new, one and two year old French and American oak barrels for 12-18 months of maturation.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in color with lavish aromas of black currant, mocha, and savory herbs with trailing notes of tobacco and vanilla. Full-bodied and well-rounded with soft edges and a lively dose of bright cherry fruit that unfolds into a smooth finish.

We'll Admit It, We Love Great Wine
That’s why we started 90+ Cellars.
It all started in the spring of 2009. Armed with a copy of the latest Wine Spectator, founder Kevin Mehra set out on a mission to bring higher quality wine to the market for a better price. He started calling wineries with a history of high ratings to ask if they had wine for sale. Some told him to get lost, but in the end, he found a handful of wineries that liked his concept. The plan was simple: we put their wine behind our label, and sell it for less.
But why would wineries want to do that?
You may recall that the economy wasn’t in the best shape in 2009. Demand for premium and luxury wines had plummeted and inventories were piling up. Rather than discount their wine and erode the value of their brand, we found that wineries were willing to part with a certain percentage of their production for a reduced price.
It was a win/win scenario. Wineries got to sell more wine, and consumers got access to better wine at lower prices.
Our company and industry has changed quite a bit since we launched; but our mission and our ability to offer great wine for a great price has not. With our Wine Director, Brett Vankoski, we continue to seek out the best opportunities in the market and turn those into great values in the bottle for you.
Today, 90+ Cellars is one of the fastest growing wine brands in America. We are a modern day négociant – working with acclaimed wineries and vineyards to curate a portfolio of fine wines from all over the globe. We do this because we love great wine, and we want to make drinking great wine easier and more affordable for you.
