Later, and for a number of years he made just one wine, a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Today he focuses his efforts on a Cabernet Sauvignon and a very small production of a red wine blend from their one-acre estate vineyard in St. Helena. Calafia is also the oldest "virtual" winery that we know of in Napa continuously producing wine - having never owned a physical winery during its 30+ year history.
