Winemaker Notes
In Cain Concept, we emphasize the lush fruit and soft, supple tannins of grapes grown in outstanding vineyards on the alluvial fans lining the edges of the Napa Valley and the hillsides of Carneros. For Cabernet, these include the famed Rutherford Bench, the outfalls of York and Conn Creeks west of St. Helena and, for Cabernet Franc, the cool climate and sandy soils of Napa's Carneros region. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Cabernet Franc 19%, Syrah 5%.

The Cain Vineyard site is truly spectacular, cradled in a bowl overlooking St. Helena from the top of the Spring Mountain District. In 1980, Joyce and Jerry Cain purchased part of the McCormick Ranch, a homestead dating back to the 1840's. The Cains were in search of a unique mountain property where they could realize their dream of planting the five classical Bordeaux varietals from which to draw one ideally structured wine, which would result as a blend of all five varieties. Jim and Nancy Meadlock joined the Cains in 1986, and in 1991 they purchased full ownership. The first Cain Five, the 1985 vintage was released in 1989. Cain produces four wines: Cain Five, Cain Cuvee, Cain Musque and Cain Concept.
