The wines from Correlation Wine Company are first and foremost reflections of our passion, our experience, and ultimately founded upon the relationships we’ve made since our family first arrived in the Napa Valley in 1999. We strive to craft wines with impeccable quality and approachability, showcasing new expressions outside of our Steffens Family estate on Spring Mountain. These “Correlations” are the backbone of our wines.

2020 Correlation Cabernet Sauvignon

Along the journey in winemaking—and life for that matter—we are faced with growing seasons in which the lessons learned along the way and the knowledge gained from prior vintages become ever so important in helping craft the story in the bottle. The 2020 growing season began by showing us just what kind of vintage it was planning to unfold. A mild winter, lower than average rainfall, and a cooler spring led us to prepare the vines for what looked to be a demanding, yet ultimately very successful growing season. Little did we know, until the day the fires arrived, that our harvest would be cut short, and as much as 70% of our fruit would remain on the vine.
