About Cain Vineyards & Winery

The estate vineyard is planted to the classic set of five varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Dedicated to the creation of three Cabernet blends, each wine is drawn from its own unique Napa Valley vineyard sources and each has its own distinctive signature: Cain Cuvée— a blend of two vintages and a selection of vineyards, Cain Concept—representing the classic benchlands of the Napa Valley, and Cain Five— the product of the incomparable Cain Estate Vineyard.
