2021 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!

2018 Brothers Blend Proprietary Red Blend
94% Cabernet Sauvignon (Ellman Estate Vineyard) and 6% Merlot (Bench Vineyard)
The 2018 Brothers Blend is an apt entrée into the Ellman line-up of wines. Approachable, and then some, it offers a deep, opaque violet cast, billowing with intense aromas of crème de cassis, blackberries, espresso and cigar box. On the palate, complexity abounds with lush red and black fruits, from cranberry and raspberry to black cherries and plums, giving way to notes of cacao, as well as hints of herbal and floral notes such as rosemary and violet. Incredibly soft and polished, it packs excellent density without a rough edge in sight. With mouth-coating tannins giving way to a fresh finish, it pairs instantly with your favorites on the grill from a nice boerewors or Presa Iberico, to the garden’s bounty, like summer squash and zucchini.

2018 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 2018 vintage. With a deep ruby hue, our 2018 Jemma gives way to a comingling of sweet and savory notes. Copious aromatics of freshly picked violets, cassis and black cherries emanate from the glass, with a soupçon of espresso, sassafras and dry-aged salumi. Effusive on the palate, it has a lush profile of a myriad of bramble fruits, like a billowing whiff from jostling a crate of blackberries, coupled with hints of cardamom, allspice and cacao. Muscular and weighty, the dark fruit character is precisely framed with focused yet velvety tannins and an enduring, lengthy finish. Aptly paired with a classic Beef Wellington or maitakes on the grill.

2019 The Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Ellman Estate)
Compromised 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.
