Great wine has a strong sense of place, and we wanted ours to be rooted in what we value above anything else -- family and friendship. We believe great wine loves good food, thrives with meaningful company, and builds its best character in an environment of generosity and warmth. From our 15-acre vineyard in Napa Valley, we strive to make unique wines to pair with our best moments.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Ellman Estate). Our 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of a tiny barrel selection of the finest fruit from our vineyard. With an intense, deep ruby hue, the 2016 exudes complex aromatics harkening the spectrum from cassis bud, orange peel and cerise to salumi—such as Lardo di Colonnata and Finocchinona. Balancing its truly refined nature with extreme power, the palate gives way to a myriad of fruit and floral notes from cherries and blackberries to hibiscus and violet, balanced with hints of cigar box, savory licorice and dried sage, and replete with mouth-coating tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine is incredibly focused; it can be enjoyed now, and possesses an age-worthy character to be enjoyed for years to come. Magnum and 3L formats available.

93% Cabernet Sauvignon (from Ellman Estate – 86% and Beckstoffer George III – 14%), 7% Merlot (from Hudson Vineyards). Our 2016 Jemma is marked by a deep ruby hue, with brooding, intense aromatics of spice and smoked charcuterie, laced with a dark fruit profile of cassis, pomegranate and bing cherries. Muscular and weighty on the palate, the intense fruit character is precisely framed by polished tannins and an enduring, lengthy finish. A happy pair with an impromptu date night and steak frites!

The 2017 Brothers Blend is a favorable introduction to the Ellman suite of wines. An instant favorite in any setting, it's filled with aromatics of black cherries, cassis, and star anise. The expansive palate ranges from freshly picked blackberries and boysenberries to dark chocolate and baking speice. With substantial heft yet refreshing acidity, it maintains a versatile style, pairing well with your favorite choice for the brai, be it ribeye or barbequed spare ribs, even Maitake mushrooms.

100% Sauvignon Blanc (Ellman Estate Vineyard and Somerston Vineyards). THe 2019 Caryn Renae Sauvignon Blanc harkens an endless summer. Its brilliant lemon hue sparkles at the meniscus. Aromatics of boxwood, bergamot and a subtle gardenia alight the nose, and place you immediately at the shore of your choosing. The palate has notes ranging from blood orange and green papaya, to lemon meringue pie and pate de fruit au pamplemousse with mouth-watering acidity and an expansive palate. The end result leaves you feeling piqued for a seaside picnic, and on the verge of a jaunt amongst the waves!
