A joint wine venture with Heidi Barrett and John Schwartz. As winemaker for several of the hottest cult wines in California, and referred to by TIME magazine as “The Wine Diva of Napa”, Heidi Barrett is always looking for new challenges.
Merging art with our wines was something of a philosophical decision. The former can be enjoyed indefinitely, enduring for many lifetimes. Wine collectors may revel in the subtleties of a vertical collection; but in the end, ‘fine wine is the only true art that must be destroyed in order to be fully appreciated. ‘We strive to offer you the pleasures of both art forms.

BRENDEL

Brendel Wines, the new winery concept from St. Helena named for a pioneer Napa Valley vintner, might not sound familiar.

Still, the company definitely has some people and history you may have heard of.
Brendel Wines produced its first vintage in 2019 and is part of Lawrence Wine Estates, a group of Napa Valley-based wineries owned by proprietor Gaylon Lawrence including Burgess Cellars, Heitz Cellar, Ink Grade Estate, Stony Hill Vineyard, and several other vineyard sites. Also under the same ownership is Demeine Estates, a Napa Valley-based négociant & broker of these wineries and brands.

Brendel’s namesake comes from Leon Brendel. Brendel was born in Alsace, France in 1884 into a family of winegrowers. In 1915 he moved to the state of Coahuila, in northern Mexico where he served as the wine chemist for the country’s president at the time, Francisco I. Madero (Madero Winery). Incidentally, Madero Winery is the oldest winery in America, founded in 1597, and continues to produce wine.

BURGGESS

Burgess was established in 1972 by Tom Burgess, a retired Air Force pilot with a particular enthusiasm for Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the story of Burgess is the culmination of over 150 years of Napa Valley History.

The historic site drew some of Napa Valley’s leading winemakers to Souverain, including Mike Grgich–of Grgich Hills Estate–and Warren Winiarski, who went on to triumph in the Judgement of Paris with Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Today, the legacy of winemaking excellence is upheld by Meghan Zobeck, who joined as winemaker in 2020. Her winemaking background includes international work with Michel Rolland, as well as Screaming Eagle and Atelier Melka in the Napa Valley.

CAYMUS, Rutherford

HEITZ

Family-owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs as deep as the roots throughout the Napa Valley; a winery legend that has helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated wines, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Fifty-eight years of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and classic winemaking maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.

In April 2018, Heitz Cellar entered an exciting new chapter as this rich legacy was passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match. The wines are made with an unwavering commitment to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a commitment to the sustainability of Napa Valley.

HONIG

Honig Vineyard and Winery is a sustainably farmed, family-owned, and operated winery.

In addition, they have a solid international distribution with parts of Asia being a focus as well as Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, India, and parts of South America among other countries and regions.

INK GRADE

The unique story of Ink Grade Vineyard begins in 1873, when vines were planted for the first time by visionary pioneers who believed in the incredible potential of the land.

Precariously clinging to the side of Howell Mountain, the Ink Grade Estate Vineyard claims a view unbeknownst to most in Napa Valley. Amongst densely forested pines and sequoia stands, it lies in the northeast corner of the Howell Mountain AVA with a predominant view facing East. Terraced throughout due to the extreme slope, this mountainside vineyard grasps volcanic “tufa” soils. Ink Grade Estate possesses a raw tension that renders fruit of immense intensity and depth.

Rugged terrain. Lush foliage. Abundant wildlife. This is no ordinary vineyard. This is the Ink Grade. Once owned by Napa Valley legend Theron Ink, our estate on Howell Mountain spans hundreds of wild acres—planted so as to nurture rather than disrupt the ecosystem that has thrived here for centuries. If ever there was a site that imparted a feeling of reverence, Ink Grade is such a place.

Jason Pahlmeyer understood that making wines with exceptional concentration, complexity, and ageability required venturing to extremes. That’s what drew him to the rugged parcel of vines on the ridgeline of Atlas Peak that would become his iconic estate vineyard. That is why, more than 35 years later, Pahlmeyer remains defined by mountain fruit, possessing the soulful character born of demanding terroir and exacting fieldwork. His wines are particularly known for its eponymous proprietary red wine, prized for its dense, dark rich fruit and full body.

DUMOL, Russian River Valley Vineyard

These stories begin in the vineyard, some of which go back to the early 1980’s when DUMOL’s oldest vines were planted. They build upon that base with the narrative of each vintage, describing through taste, texture, and perfume the unique agricultural and climatic circumstances that they are presented with each year. The stories of DUMOL vineyard designates, cellar-worthy and beloved, end there. Each wine is molded by vintage, crafted in the vineyard, and stewarded through the winery to your table.

IF YOU SEE KAY, PASO ROBLE

Inspired by author James Joyce’s 1922 masterpiece Ulysses, which was banned in the united states until 1934, and the evocative art of Montreal-based tattoo artist Chen-Jeh Chen, if you see kay embodies the principle of living life to the fullest and saying if you see kay to the status quo.

Roaring in from Paso Robles
Paso Robles on the central coast of California is the place that kay calls home. Paso robles is the anti-napa wine country of California. Life here isn’t about showroom wineries, fancy dinners, or luxury cars. Life here is about bucking the trend, wide-open roads, and a place where wild boars still roam the vineyards.

PETER MICHAEL, Sonoma

From the beginning, the wine growing philosophy was modelled on the French tradition infused with a few modern influences: One, the vineyard terroir would be the single most important feature. Two, the wines would be elegant rather than overstated. Three, there would be a hundred-year commitment to the development of a great estate.

SAND POINT, Napa Valley

Nestled between our vineyards and the Mokelumne River, Sand Point is where the twins, Brad and Randall, spent their summers exploring as children. The beauty of nature that surrounded them caused the twins to gain a true respect for preserving the land.

KISTLER VINEYARDS, Sonoma Coast

Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler believed that remarkable and charactered Chardonnays of the site could in fact be grown and produced in California. It was a notion ahead of its time. For the last forty years, they have been pursuing that notion without compromise.

LAYER CAKE, California

Layer Cake Wines are about affordable luxury. We set out to make wines that over-deliver. We fly around the world, selecting vineyard sites and hand-making wines to be sure they are true to the grape variety and the region, but never lose that stylistic thread through them that tells you, yes, this is a Layer Cake Wine.

ELOUAN

Elouan, the result of California winemakers venturing up to Oregon, one of the world’s renowned Pinot Noir regions. Their goal: to produce Pinot Noir with a depth of flavor, vibrancy, and suppleness.

Oregon’s wide range of world-renowned grape-growing regions offers great diversity, giving them the ability to select from an array of vineyards that gives them versatility in style and a broad range of characters to enhance the final blend. The diversity of these districts along with a lengthy growing season creates wines with intense structure, and suppleness while maintaining a vibrant acidity that sets them apart from other wines.

SOTER VINEYARDS

“At Soter Vineyards we farm our wine. These wines are a reflection of the intention to convey place as an essential character in everything we make. The combination of respectful farming and craftsmanship, as well as our ancient soils and temperate climate, result in wines that are layered, nuanced, and seductively captivating while remaining modest in alcohol and tannin, a happy consequence of the interaction of both the hand and the land.”  

TALBOTT

Founded in 1982 by Robert Talbott this vineyard crafts luxurious, estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Monterey County’s prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.

Rugged terrain. Lush foliage. Abundant wildlife. This is no ordinary vineyard. This is the Ink Grade. Once owned by Napa Valley legend Theron Ink, our estate on Howell Mountain spans hundreds of wild acres—planted so as to nurture rather than disrupt the ecosystem that has thrived here for centuries. If ever there was a site that imparted a feeling of reverence, Ink Grade is such a place.

INK GRADE

The unique story of Ink Grade Vineyard begins in 1873, when vines were planted for the first time by visionary pioneers who believed in the incredible potential of the land.

Precariously clinging to the side of Howell Mountain, the Ink Grade Estate Vineyard claims a view unbeknownst to most in Napa Valley. Amongst densely forested pines and sequoia stands, it lies in the northeast corner of the Howell Mountain AVA with a predominant view facing East. Terraced throughout due to the extreme slope, this mountainside vineyard grasps volcanic “tufa” soils. Ink Grade Estate possesses a raw tension that renders fruit of immense intensity and depth.

Rugged terrain. Lush foliage. Abundant wildlife. This is no ordinary vineyard. This is the Ink Grade. Once owned by Napa Valley legend Theron Ink, our estate on Howell Mountain spans hundreds of wild acres—planted so as to nurture rather than disrupt the ecosystem that has thrived here for centuries. If ever there was a site that imparted a feeling of reverence, Ink Grade is such a place.

PAHLMEYER

Pahlmeyer is a Californian wine estate, founded in Napa Valley in 1986 by attorney Jayson Pahlmeyer and owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery.

Jason Pahlmeyer understood that making wines with exceptional concentration, complexity, and ageability required venturing to extremes. That’s what drew him to the rugged parcel of vines on the ridgeline of Atlas Peak that would become his iconic estate vineyard. That is why, more than 35 years later, Pahlmeyer remains defined by mountain fruit, possessing the soulful character born of demanding terroir and exacting fieldwork. His wines are particularly known for its eponymous proprietary red wine, prized for its dense, dark rich fruit and full body.
