About
Kenneth Juhasz launched Auteur in 2004 with a simple premise: get impeccable fruit from Napa's elite vineyards and don't mess it up. His tiny production focuses on site-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, sourced from places like Sleeping Lady Vineyard and Beckstoffer's To Kalon. The wines show precision and site expression rather than winemaker ego—restrained tannins, balanced oak, and the kind of tension that makes you want to cellar bottles for a decade. This isn't a tasting room you stumble into; it's an allocation list you work to get on. For collectors chasing pedigree fruit handled with finesse, Auteur delivers without the usual Napa theatrics.
