In 1973, Nicholas Molnar planted Poseidon Vineyard at the southern extreme of Napa Carneros, on what had been grazing land since the time of the missionaries. For three decades he grew Chardonnay and Pinot Noir here for the top sparkling wine houses in Napa Valley. The next generation, Pete and Arpad Molnar, joined by Michael Terien, ventured further north, planting a high-altitude vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard that turned out to be situated on a defunct volcano, on a ridge of solid black obsidian glass . . . indisputably Cabernet country. The volcanic soils here give rise to a unique and appetizing strain of Cabernet Sauvignon, dense with blackberry, broken rock, cedary spice and long, persistent fruit on the finish.
