Save 29% per bottle
The label changed. The vineyard source did not.
Four Doors puts a newer family label on a very specific piece of Regusci ground. Block 1, the Stags Leap District address and the 100% Cabernet composition are the reasons to pay attention.
It comes from a named Regusci block.
Block 1 is the opposite of vague Napa sourcing. It gives the wine a precise family and vineyard identity before the cork is even pulled.
This is not secondary fruit.
The value story works because the source is the story: prime Stags Leap District Cabernet from the Regusci family’s own farming world, presented through Four Doors.

The wine is supple and fragrant first, then gains savory definition and fine structure across the palate.
Violet rises over black cherry and blackberry, giving the Cabernet lift before the darker fruit settles into the glass.
Fine tannins keep the wine polished rather than heavy, while savory spice and graphite give the middle real Stags Leap definition.
The finish is long, clean and composed. Serve at 60 to 65°F and give the wine 30 to 60 minutes of air.
Blackberry, black cherry and firm savory spice lead.
Violet, cocoa and graphite become more distinct as the tannin settles.
The fruit feels broader, while the finish stays polished and mineral.
Block 1 supplies the identity
The technical story is refreshingly direct: one named Regusci block, one classic Napa variety and one of Cabernet’s most coveted districts.
Block First: The wine is sourced from Regusci Block 1 in Stags Leap District, giving Four Doors a defined vineyard origin rather than a broad Napa Valley blend.
Cabernet Alone: The composition is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Black fruit and violet carry the aroma, while graphite, savory spice and fine tannin provide shape.
Family Framing: James Regusci Jr. owns Four Doors. The Cabernet comes from Block 1 on his dad’s Regusci estate, carrying the family’s farming history into James Jr.’s own label.
Four doors, four generations, one Stags Leap address
The label is modern. The family story behind it reaches back through the Regusci ranch and a century of Napa farming.
The Regusci family put down roots in Stags Leap generations ago, building a farming legacy around the ranch, its vineyards and the historic winery. The family name became inseparable from the district’s Cabernet identity.
James Regusci Jr. studied Agricultural Sciences, returned to Napa, worked in horticulture for The French Laundry and joined Regusci Vineyard Management. In 2020, he opened his own door as the fourth-generation farmer and vintner behind Four Doors.
That history matters because Four Doors is owned by James Regusci Jr., and this Cabernet comes from Block 1 on his dad’s Regusci estate. The family name, site and Stags Leap character stay connected in the bottle.
Give Block 1 the steakhouse table it deserves
Charred beef and a slow red-wine braise meet the Cabernet at its strongest points: black fruit, savory spice, graphite and fine tannin.
Keep the plate focused. A proper sear or a patient braise gives this Cabernet all the richness it needs.
Serve at 60 to 65°F and decant for 30 to 60 minutes. The air softens the tannin and draws violet and graphite through the dark fruit.
Perfect Pan-Seared Steaks
A hard sear, butter, garlic and herbs give the wine a direct line into the meal.
Why it works: Cassis and cocoa wrap around the char, while fine tannins reset the richness between bites.

Red-Wine Braised Short Ribs
Slow-cooked beef brings the Cabernet’s darker, more savory side into focus.
Why it works: The braise echoes black plum, cocoa and graphite, while the wine’s structure keeps the dish from feeling heavy.
