HELENA, Calif., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caren
and Nick Orum, proprietors of Arborum Napa Valley, today

conservation organizations before the release of their first wines

ABOUT ARBORUM
Founded by Caren and Nick Orum,
who purchased the property in 2013, winemaker Andy Erickson crafts two proprietary wines for
Arborum. For the Proprietary Red, Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced
from Hidden Key, Arborum's certified organic estate vineyard,
located just north of St. Helena
on the east-facing slopes of Spring
Mountain in the Mayacamas Range. The Proprietary White is a
blend of Sauvignon Musqué, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon from
Coombsville, with an estate Cabernet Sauvignon joining the
portfolio in the future. The 20-acre Arborum Estate features a
CCOF-certified organic vineyard and olive orchard. The Orums
dedicate all net earnings from Arborum to worthwhile causes with
each wine release, and they are committing $1 million to local and environmental causes for
their inaugural 2024 launch. For more information about Arborum,
