2023 Mystery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Located at the base of the majestic Mayacamas Mountains in the heart of St. Helena, this is a property steeped in history. Grapes have grown on this land since the 1800s, and the story took root in 1886, when the founder built the stone winery that still anchors the estate today. Every bottle carries that legacy forward — small-batch, estate-grown, and unmistakably Napa.

The estate is owned by the Leducq Charitable Trust, established by Jean and Sylviane Leducq in 1996. It's the only non-profit winery in Napa Valley — every dollar from wine sales and tasting fees funds international cardiovascular research. You're not just buying a 96-point Cabernet here; you're funding something bigger with every pour.

The 42-acre vineyard is certified organic by CCOF, farmed across Napa's narrow "pinch" between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains. Behind the wine is winemaker Adam Henkel, who joined the estate in 2022 after training under the legendary Philippe Melka and working alongside Staglin Family Vineyard and Lail Vineyards. That pedigree shows in the glass — polished, intentional, built for the long haul.

This 2023 vintage is the estate's flagship "1886" Cabernet doing what it does best: lush, full-throttle Napa character. Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc lead the blend, aged 18 months in 53% new French oak. Bold, structured, and unmistakably St. Helena — a 96-point wine that earns every point.
