Current Releases
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Driven by the desire to make fruit-driven, approachable Cabernet Sauvignon, this single vineyard wine is pressed and racked into 100% new French and American oak barrels. After aging for 24 months in barrel, we select the finest lots for our final blend prior to bottling. Our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the heart of Rutherford in the Napa Valley. The vineyard was originally planted by Mrs. Thomas Rutherford in 1895 – many acclaimed wines originated from this vineyard including wines made by Andre Tchelistcheff who’s wines became the definition of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Rich aromas of black cherry and dark currant lead the bouquet, layered with espresso roast and tobacco leaf. Deep flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, complemented by mineral undertones and warm baking spice.

2022 RSVB Cabernet Sauvignon
Embracing the serendipitous nature of Mathew Bruno and our commitment to let the vineyard characteristics speak through each and every bottle, we are thrilled to present our inaugural RSVB Cabernet Sauvignon from our favorite vineyard in Rutherford.
Intensely aromatic bouquet of blackberry, currants, dried herbs and dark chocolate. The palate is a finely structured wine expressing dark cherry, cassis and spices. A rich mouthfeel of bright acidity resulting in a savory, smooth finish.
The label design is a nod to renowned label designer Chuck House’s inspiration behind the brand – a personal invitation to enjoy.
2024 Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir
Located in the Northwest corner of Sonoma County, the Petaluma Gap is known for producing premium Pinot Noir. With hillsides sitting above 1,400 feet, Sun Chase Vineyard is one of the most highly sought-after vineyards in the Petaluma Gap that draws brisk winds and cooling fog from the coast toward the San Pablo Bay. Its climate is heavily influenced by cool ocean breezes, but it sits above the fog line for a nice balance of heat stress on the grapevines, allowing for slow and even maturation of the fruit.
Picked at ideal ripeness, maintaining cooler fermentation temperatures and pressing at dryness, our Pinot Noir undergoes secondary fermentation while aging in French and American oak barrels for nine months. Aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, and allspice mingle with subtle earth tones. On the palate, savory red fruits—strawberry and raspberry—are framed by mineral complexity. Bright acidity and finely layered tannins create a supple mouthfeel, culminating in a long, elegant finish.

2022 Los Carneros Chardonnay
The Los Carneros AVA, located in the southernmost end of the Napa Valley, is known to be one of the premiere Chardonnay growing regions in the world. Our 2022 Chardonnay was handpicked from two neighboring vineyards, the Baldacci Family’s Honey B Vineyard and Beckstoffer’s Carneros Lake Vineyard.
Harvested at optimal maturity, this Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented in French and American oak. This wine undergoes secondary malolactic fermentation and is aged sur lees, on the yeast, in barrels for up to nine months. The creamy texture and balance is enhanced by stirring of the lees during the barrel aging process until bottling the following Spring.
The nose reveals layers of baked apple, Meyer lemon, and ripe nectarine intertwined with subtle notes of hazelnut. Balanced acidity frames a seamless palate, unfolding with layers of poached pear, stone fruit, and bright citrus, accented by subtle notes of lightly toasted oak. Barrel fermentation brings depth and harmony, while extended sur lie aging enriches the mid-palate with added weight and a refined, creamy texture. The finish is long and refined, marked by lingering orchard fruit, a touch of baking spice, and a delicate mineral thread.

2023 Yountville Sauvignon Blanc
Our Sauvignon Blanc is handpicked from the Hoxsey Family’s Block House Vineyard in the heart of Yountville. Thought to be one of the oldest vineyards in the Napa Valley, it was named for pioneer George Yount’s block house – the first Kentucky style block house west of the Mississippi. Harvested at peak maturity in late summer, this wine exhibits the complexity and core attributes found in Yountville Sauvignon Blancs.
Fermented in 100% stainless steel and bottled without delay, this wine evokes lifted notes of Meyer lemon zest, white peach, guava, with hints of lemongrass. Bright and energetic, layered flavors of grapefruit, green melon, and tropical citrus. Lively acidity, giving the wine a slightly richer mid-palate while maintaining freshness. Crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus oil and a clean, mouthwatering mineral finish.

2021 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling
From the vineyards of Los Carneros AVA in the Napa Valley comes Mathew Bruno’s first sparkling wine, the 2020 Blanc de Blancs. Los Carneros is Napa’s coolest growing sub-region, due to the evening maritime influence of the San Pablo Bay crawling across the hills of shallow, clay soil. The resulting micro-climate is an ideal environment for growing premium sparkling wine grapes.
Blanc de Blancs translates as “white from whites,” a white wine produced entirely from white grapes. This style of sparkling wine is inspired by old world winemaking techniques of the Champagne region in France. Exclusively made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, our sparkling wine exhibits the classical styles and lively acidity which Blanc de Blancs have come to be known. This sparkling wine is produced by the age-old tradition of Méthode Champenoise, during which secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle – a style from which only the finest sparkling wines are produced. The wine is then laid down to cellar “en tirage” for over 12 months. The prolonged aging allows the wine to interact with the yeast in bottle further complexing the aromas and flavors.
Effervescent aromas of green apple and tropical notes evolve into a crisp citrus taste, balanced acidity and fine bubbles. This sparkling wine finishes with a refreshingly pleasant splash of green pear and tropical flavors for all to enjoy.
