Peter and Paulette Story (Saint Helena Wines) along with their son Kristian (Kristian Story Wines) have been farming one of Saint Helena's finest vineyards since 1997.  In the heart of Napa Valley, Fleur de Vigne is the 15-acre Cabernet vineyard that is divided into four blocks and planted with the same budwood as used on the Bacchus Vineyards of Joseph Phelps and the "See" budwood used at Spotteswood. The vineyard is divided into four blocks, there are 12,000 vines in Fleur de Vigne, and the estate will never produce more than 1,000 cases of their Cabernet Sauvignon.
St. Helena Winery produces superb, traditional, handmade wines. In fact, the only piece of equipment which is mechanized is a commercial-grade, Delta E1 de-stemmer. The wine is not pumped, nor is it stored in stainless steel fermenters; from planting to bottling the Story's hands are literally on their wines. They were named "Best Boutique Winery, Napa Valley" by VinoCritic in 2006. There are limited quantities of all of their wines including the Kristian Storey are available and they do sell out every year before there official release date. Truly cult wines, extremely rare wines, completely collectable wines and highly acclaimed wines are words that just breach the tip of what Saint Helena and Kristian Story Wines are all about.

Thank you for finding our St. Helena. I hope you enjoy the Service, Selection and Savings at OakTree Wine Shop.

Saint Helena Sauvage 2004
750ml Wine United States
Sauvage Cabernet Sauvignon is extracted from a vineyard block of grapes (Block #4) that is located behind the St. Helena winery and cottage. The soil there is clay-based with some sand, which also provides excellent drainage. St. Helena uses the same farming and pruning practices in this block as they do in Block #1 and #2, by reducing the 50-to-60 clusters of grapes to only 24-to-28 clusters. Again, this 55% removal of fruit enables the remaining grape clusters to be deeper with flavors. But the differences in this wine versus Sympa are shaped in the winery. Sauvage is aged for 20 months in 65% brand new French Oak barrels and 35% once used French Oak barrels. This wine is a Cabernet-based blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Petite Syrah, 1% Petite Verdot.

Saint Helena Ravenous 2005
750ml Wine United States
This s a powerful, sweet and fruity explosion. BIG on fruit, this wine combines the best characteristics of both fruits. The concentrated crème de cassis, licorice, and inky blackberry elicited from the Petite Sirah, mixed with all the power of the mocha, currant, dark chocolate, and blueberry from the Cabernet Sauvignon, with a hint of tobacco creates a smooth and silky tannin structure that finishes well in the palate. Will be at its peak between 2010-2013.

750ml Wine United States
This is 100% cabernet aged 20 months in new French Oak Barrels. While the tannin is high, it is barely noticeable given the wine's extraordinary richness, concentration, and seamless texture.
