Wine Story

Built on dirt. Driven by dreams.

Before Napa Valley became about chandeliers and cult mailing lists, it was about farmers with stained palms and pickup trucks full of wooden fruit boxes. People who woke before the sun, pruned by hand, and hauled their grapes over the hills. They weren't chasing scores or spotlights, they were chasing a future.

Dirt, Dreams, Decades & Devotion is our nod to those early growers. The denim-jacket generation who built Napa’s backbone one load of fruit at a time. This wine honors the quiet grit, the stubborn hope, and the long-haul devotion that turned a scrappy farming valley into something the world now pays attention to.

The 2023 vintage gave us a long, even growing season, the kind that rewards patience and steady hands. This Cabernet Sauvignon–driven blend (with just a whisper of Cabernet Franc) comes from a rugged, rocky stretch of Napa Valley known for producing wines with structure, depth, and a serious sense of place. It’s a vintage shaped by balance: warm days, cool nights, and fruit that came in with power without losing its edge.

This one opens with dark blackberry, cassis, and sun-warmed plum, followed by notes of crushed rock, cocoa nib, and worn leather. There’s a savory streak running through it. Dried herbs, a little tobacco leaf, maybe even the faint echo of dusty earth after harvest.

The tannins are firm but honest, like a handshake from someone who’s worked outside their whole life. Underneath the structure is a core of ripe, generous fruit that keeps everything lifted. It’s powerful without being polished to death, a wine with backbone, grit, and just enough softness to remind you it’s still Napa.

The label looks like something pulled from the back pocket of a 1962 pair of harvest jeans, worn denim texture, oil-painted words, no gloss, no pretense. Just four truths that built this valley: Dirt. Dreams. Decades. Devotion. Each word layered like brushstrokes on canvas, imperfect and human.

It’s meant to feel handmade because the life it honors was handmade. Before Napa was luxury, it was labor. Before prestige, there was perseverance. This bottle is for the people who showed up every day, got their hands dirty, and kept going anyway.
