depiction is a wine/art project made using primarily Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in a very special part of the St. Helena appellation, in Napa Valley.
For each vintage of depiction, we choose an artist that inspires us, and commission an original painting. When the artwork is completed, we hand cut it down into hundreds of smaller pieces, equal to the number of bottles we have produced for that vintage. Those individual canvas segments of the painting become the physical front labels of our bottles for that vintage. The reverse side of each label is hand numbered to enable its original location in the painting to be discovered.
depiction is offered on a highly limited basis in handmade presentation boxes which contain (3) three 1.5 liter bottles. The interior cover of the presentation box displays a print of the original art in its totality, before it is sliced up to become the depiction front labels. We now release standard size bottles of depiction each vintage, one year prior to the release of the same vintage in magnum.
