Daniel and FlorenceDaniel and Florence Cathiard — who purchased Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Pessac-Léognan in 1990 and transformed it from a neglected Grand Cru estate into one of Bordeaux's most organically committed, spa-integrated, and internationally celebrated wine destinations — turned their attention to the Napa Valley in 2014, purchasing a Calistoga estate with the conviction that their 30 years of Bordeaux Grand Cru biodynamic winemaking expertise could produce Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon of extraordinary quality.

Second Wine
Calistoga / Cathiard Estate
Cathiard's more accessible estate expression from the Smith Haut Lafitte owners' Calistoga biodynamic program — showing the volcanic northern Napa Valley Cabernet character at a slightly earlier drinking window than the flagship, produced with the same Bordeaux Grand Cru biodynamic precision that earned the debut vintages 96–100 point recognition.
