Founded in 1999 and named after proprietor Launny Steffens’ life and background in the world of finance with a theme encompassed by numerics, and a keen interest in numerology — “seven” being a number of luck in western culture, while “eight” follows the meanings of prosperity and happiness in eastern culture — Vineyard 7 & 8 is the culmination of the family’s pursuit for producing fine wines including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

The 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to be enjoyed right from the start, with a wealth of complex aromatics sure to please Cabernet aficionados. Nuances of black currant, black cherry, menthol, white pepper, cherry liqueur and raw tobacco on the nose. The wine is bright, exuding both power and restraint. On the palate the wine does not disappoint, showing black pepper, black cherry and boysenberry, fresh ground dark roast coffee, and our signature savory notes. The tannins are powerful, yet well‐integrated, finishing very long. This is quite possibly our finest wine to date. A nuanced and seductive wine that will show very well with a quick decant upon release, and will age beautifully for 15‐20+ years.
