‘Little Creek’ vineyard sold
St. Helena Star
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Acclaimed vintner Tony Soter has sold his Napa Valley “Little Creek”
estate vineyard to Steven L. Contursi of Laguna Beach, a
nationally-known rare coin dealer and a wine enthusiast.
The four-acre property with over three acres under vines is in
Napa’s proposed Tulocay AVA.
This organically farmed vineyard annually produces about 300
cases of cabernet franc blended with cabernet sauvignon and
malbec, sold under the Soter “Little Creek” label.
Contursi has hired two Napa Valley professionals, winemaker Helen
Keplinger and Michael Wolf as vineyard manager, to achieve the
mission of crafting a cabernet franc of the highest quality.
“Both have incredible knowledge of the land, farming techniques and
how to bring out the nuances of the terroir into the bottle.
I’m very excited about having both of them on the team,” said
Contursi, president of
Rare Coin Wholesalers
of Dana Point,
one of the country’s most prominent numismatic dealerships.
