Saint Helena Winery is a small, private winery specializing in estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons. Winemakers Aaron Pott and Lindsey Wallingford guide the creation of their wines, the total wine production is less than 1,500 cases annually.

The winery was founded with the 2000 vintage of Sympa Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, with one barrel only made by famed winemaker Mark Herold. For many years they sold fruit to notable neighbors Opus One, Merus and Quintessa. The estate is not open to the public, rather by invitation only.
