John Caldwell —John Caldwell — who established the Kreuzer Lane Coombsville estate in 1984 with a scientific obsession about vine genetics that led him to take considerable personal legal risk to obtain cuttings of Pétrus, Latour, Margaux, and other Bordeaux First Growth vine material before California's legal clonal importation channels existed — literally changed what California Cabernet Sauvignon growing material was available to subsequent Napa Valley producers through his most personally vine-smuggling-legally-consequential vine collection ambition.

The Caldwell CloneThe Caldwell Clone Reserve — the most personally vine-collection-historically-specific estate expression — is produced from the clonal selections that John Caldwell identified, imported, and established in his Coombsville estate vineyards with the most accumulated scientific vine-genetics knowledge available from any Napa Valley grower.
