The Wines

The 2021 vintage is one of The SERPENTS most lyrical expressions, full of fresh, juicy fruit - peach, honeydew - and energizing minerality.

2019 in large format has excellent aging potential, but is showing beautifully now...

The SERPENTS grapes treated as if they were red. I.e., rather than the gentle, fast processing that most white grapes undergo, this fruit was punched down and left macerating on its skins, seeds, and stems for about two months. The resulting animal that emerged, although related, has entirely different aromatics, tannin structure, and, of course, color - a shimmering amber hue. As this wine is the SERPENTS, but with extended skin contact, its naturally called SNAKESKIN. 

Richness and brightness in perfect balance. Flinty notes laced with vibrant citrus and almond. Mouth-filling texture and length.

Introducing The HERON: a bold tribute to Petit Verdot, a Bordeaux varietal (aka, Heran) typically relegated to the background.

Amphora-aged estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Luminous and sleek, the 2021 PEARL of the RAVENS, offers an unadulterated experience of Cabernet Sauvignon. With the oak influence dialed back to a whisper, the purity of the fruit is in the starring role. 

Six Napa Wineries at the historic landmark, The Francis House.
