Creston District

With cooling influences from the Templeton Gap to the west and the cold air flowing from the La Panza mountains to the east, Creston is hot during the day but cool at night. The huge diurnal shift yields big, structured Cabernet Sauvignons that ripen well yet retain their elegance and freshness.
