OUR PHILOSOPHY It is clear, the importance of soils, climate, and elevation are all factors in producing fine wine. But more importantly, it’s about the location, the handler's skill set, and their desire to expand creative capabilities. This is the core behind all Erikson & Caradin wines. OUR STORY The original release was in the 2013 vintage, we sold every case exclusively to dear friends and select restaurants across the country. In 2016 we gained access to more fruit and increased the production from 85 cases to 264 cases – a mere 10 barrels from two distinct sites. Today we make eight different designations but remain craft-focused and only produce a maximum of 50 barrels. Throughout the last 15 years of being rooted in the culture and history of the Napa Valley, our business has always stood for nothing less than exceptional wine and the truest expression of the acclaimed AVA-specific wines. OUR WINEMAKING We are wine lovers and collectors, who set out to procure the very best parcels of Cabernet in the most esteemed regions. There is a standard here and we intend to exceed it. Our winemaker, Robert Smith, believes in the opportunity to pause, explore, and discover the most modern and discerning methods to winemaking, and for us, there should be no exception.
