Seven Stones

Seven Stones is a small Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon producer operating from the St. Helena area, with auction records showing 105 lots at a relatively high average of $145 per bottle, ranging up to $230. The name refers to a specific rocky hillside site, though the estate operates at a scale and price point consistent with boutique Napa Cabernet producers who sell primarily through mailing lists. At $145 average for a single-variety portfolio of Cabernet Sauvignon and an absence of broader critical visibility, the wines appear to trade within a loyal collector network rather than the wider auction market. The narrow price band of $145 average with a maximum of $230 suggests relatively uniform lot quality and vintage consistency rather than the dramatic variation seen in larger or more critically tracked estates. The lack of sub-$50 lots implies buyers and sellers are primarily trading sought-after current releases or recently released vintages rather than clearing old inventory. Seven Stones occupies the mid-to-upper tier of non-cult Napa Cabernet — priced above everyday Napa at retail but below the Screaming Eagle or Harlan level that commands three-digit auction premiums. The sustained auction presence of 105 lots suggests a stable but modest collector base.
