The name Leaf + Twig has always had a double meaning for our family, representing two essential elements of the grape vines that produce our 100% cabernet sauvignon wine as well as our two loyal canine companions. The St. Helena wine property that we have transformed into the Leaf + Twig Vineyard since 2000 is a special place for us because we have seen friendships blossom along with our super premium cabernet sauvignon grapes. The 3 1/2 acre vineyard, which we completely replanted, is fulfilling our vision of producing an elegant, extraordinary wine. The annual total production from the vineyard yields approximately 8 to 9 tons of grapes, from which only 23-25 cases of Leaf + Twig are made in any single year. Since 2004 the Leaf + Twig grapes have been sold to Vineyard 29. Before release, each bottle of Leaf + Twig is barrel aged for 18 months and subsequently bottled aged for twelve months at a constant temperature of 55 degrees.

Our wine continues to evolve with every vintage and shows up-front promise for collectors and avid drinkers alike. While every year is different, Leaf + Twig is distinctive in how it features layers of rich, dark cherries and blackberries, traces of cocoa, eucalyptus, and mild spice attributes. The complex aromas marry beautifully with the velvety mouth-feel and well-integrated, firm tannins of this cult wine. We hope you will enjoy Leaf + Twig in your glass as much as we continue to enjoy the journey of bringing it to your table.
