We are currently offering depiction in full 3 magnum presentation box sets of our 2016 vintage, as well as 750mL bottles - ie standard sized wine bottles. Our 2016 magnums are packaged with original artwork segment labels in a presentation box of 3, a print of original artwork, a canvas grid showing the original location of your three labels, and a folio. Our standard size bottles have a “blank canvas” label, ie art on the interior of the bottle only, allowing you to sample the wine that will be offered in magnums next release. On our “blank canvas” label, the location an artist would traditionally sign the work instead carries the vintage date, mother nature’s signature. The 2016 magnum box is pictured far left, the 750mL is pictured near left.
Our commissioned artist for 2016 is Steve Scott. Steve is an Australian born, London based, Illustrator and Animator whose work has appeared broadly in publications from The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, to the Robb Report. His corporate clientele includes Apple and Google, and he even designed the backdrop for Led Zeppelin’s stage in their 2007 reunion concert. His work is diverse, colorful, and influenced strongly by Tintin, a childhood favorite.
The commissioned work is titled “Station to Station”, and was digitally printed on a 48” x 36” canvas. Living through the pandemic year of 2020, with its quarantining and sheltering at home, the frenetic work showing travelers coming and going, with buskers busking, business transacting, and life being lived as “normal” provided a welcomed reminder.
Pictured at right is our 2016 release with numbered grid of the original art piece, along with a selection of numbered bottles located near their place in the original composition.
2016 Vintage Note
High toned pomegranate, stone fruit pit, crushed violet, bay laurel, and pie crust aromas. Juicy cut to the entry, gorgeous equilibrium of fruit, acid and tannin in the mouth. Medium weight, restrained, pure and pretty. Persistent clean finish of cassis bud, marzipan, with a light milk chocolate undertone. This is an absolutely gorgeous representation of the vineyard and will drink well from release for a minimum of 25 years.
