$65.002021 Caryn Renae Sauvignon Blanc
65% Sauvignon Blanc (Ellman Estate Vineyard) and 35% Sauvignon Musque (Somerston Vineyard)
The 2021 Caryn Renae Sauvignon Blanc is a seasonal shift in the glass. From the first encounter with its brilliant citrine hue to the abundant aromatics, it is love at first sip. Aromatics of lithe tropical fruits— think barely ripe pineapple, kiwi and mango— comingling with classic boxwood, gooseberry and sea spray notes transport you to the sea in an instant. The palate boasts a myriad of flavors from fresh lemon juice and grapefruit zest to glacé apricots, with a scintilla of creaminess and bright minerality and a whisper of wildflower honey and honeysuckle— all coalescing in a crescendo of great focus and great intensity. The perfect jumping off point into an evening or a great conversation, adept at pairing with everything from your favorite nori maki rice crackers to fruits of the sea and beyond!

$125.002019 Brothers Blend Proprietary Red Blend
97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot (Bench Vineyard)
The 2019 Brothers Blend is the perfect introduction to the Ellman Family Vineyards line-up. With the core blend from the Estate vineyard coupled with a neighboring Coombsville site, the 2019 is approachable, and then some, offering up a deep ruby cast and intense aromatics from dark fruits like blackberries and currants to baking spice—think cinnamon, vanilla and clove!— and a hint of woodsy, herbals notes like thyme, fresh earth and cigar box. Generous on the palate, complexity abounds with lush red and black fruits, from dark, sweet cherries to bramble fruits and a slew of plum varieties, giving way to notes of pie crust, cacao, as well as hints of roses and violets. With a creamy texture and juicy nature, it packs excellent density without a rough edge in sight. With mouth-coating tannins giving way to a fresh finish, it pairs harmoniously with your favorites on the grill— be they of an herbivore’s or an omnivore’s delights— and will have you dreaming of a braai any day of the week.

$195.002019 Jemma Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Ellman Estate)
Focusing solely on the Ellman Estate vineyard, the perennial elegance of Jemma reigns supreme in the 2019 vintage. With a profound, dense ruby hue, our ethereal 2019 Jemma performs a playful dance of sweet and savory movements. Bounteous aromatics of freshly harvested fruits and flowers from a basket of sweet violets to just-plucked blackberries from the vine comingle with layered notes of bouquet garni, espresso crema, and transportive salumi like lardo di colonnata and finocchina. Effusive on the palate, it whisks you away for a walk in the woods with heady fragrance of freshly upturned earth, garriqgue and bramble fruits, all from the comfort and warmth of your perch. Muscular and weighty, the dark fruit character is precisely framed with concentrated yet chocolatey tannins, and a lingering, suffusive finish. Aptly paired with a classic Entrecôte Marchand de Vin, or if you are feeling adventuresome, a savory wild mushroom Wellington.

$250.002019 The Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Ellman Estate)
Comprised of a small barrel selection of the finest fruit from our meticulously farmed family vineyard, our 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sublime, full stop. Deep and brooding, the 2019 vintage is incredibly age-worthy, and will continue to develop and evolve over time. As the foundation of the Ellman suite of wines with an intense, profusive ruby hue, it overdelivers with myriad notes of tarragon, Spanish cedar, and caffè crema, interlaced with provocative aromatics of fervent Attika cherries, slow-roasted meats— suckling lamb leaps to mind— and crushed cayenne. Walking the tightrope of finesse with consummate power, the palate gives way to layered flavors of elderberry, cassis, sarsaparilla and nuanced notes of chorizo, wild mushrooms, hibiscus and bittersweet chocolate, which interplay with its formidable framework. Truly contemplative, this wine commands respect, and will reveal itself felicitously over time.
