Crafting distinctive wines is nothing new to Kristina and Jim van Löben Sels who have successfully worked side by side at their family winery, Arbor Crest, for 15 years. A few years ago, to pay homage to their combined family roots, they decided to resurrect the van Löben Sels Cellars label. "Kristina and I wanted to create a new slate of wines honoring my roots in the Napa Valley and pay tribute to my uncle who was part of the original van Löben Sels Cellars in Oakville, California 40 years ago," Jim explains. "Since Kristina’s expertise is winemaking and mine is the vineyards, we wanted to take what we do best and blend our skills together to create something special. We’d like to make it something to hand down to the next generation."
