This Kokonor Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a Chinese company, Qinghua Huzhu Barley Wine,* under the subsidiary Koko Nor Corp., which purchased Sundown Ranch LLC in late 2013 for $15 million. Sundown’s main asset was a 1000-acre property in St. Helena at the north end of Napa Valley, of which 100 acres were under vine. Kokonor makes the wine from fruit sourced from this vineyard at the Maxville Winery in the Chiles Valley AVA east of Napa Valley. (The CEO of Maxville, Anthony Hsu, was born in Taiwan and spent time there off and on before adulthood. Coincidental that a Chinese company should make wine at Maxville? I leave that up to you to decide.)
