When Sean Capiaux is not making the mouth-watering Cabernets at O'Shaughnessy Estate in the Howell Mountain area of Napa Valley, he's working on his own eponymous wines. Sean started his own label back in 1994, and specializes in small lots of vineyard designated Pinot Noir that express the unique location from which they came. Having previously worked at Peter Michael, Sean knows what make a great vineyard, and subsequently a great wine. He works with vineyards such as Pisoni, Widdoes, and Gaps Crown; properties that aren't afraid to drop crop for low yields that result in only high-quality grapes. Sean's winemaking style is a blend of classic and contemporary, utilizing cutting edge fermentation equipment paired with natural hands-on winemaking, and an emphasis on balance. All the wines are naturally fermented and unfined and unfiltered to preserve their innate flavors and aromas.
