Tasting room hours: --- (Map)
VELLUM tastings are by appointment - with advanced notice. We usually do a tasting of three vintages paired with artisan cheeses. Some samples are tasted directly from the barrel.
Our winery produces a single wine - VELLUM Cabernet Sauvignon. We take our winemaking inspiration from the St-Julien region of Bordeaux. And though our fruit is sourced from Napa vineyards in the Coombsville district, VELLUM Cabernet Sauvignon is uniquely un-Napa in its higher acidity and lower alcohol...which makes for a very food-friendly wine.

VELLUM is 84% Cabernet, 10% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. We use whole berry fermentation and delestage to gently extract fully ripe tannins. VELLUM is bottled unfiltered and unfined, after just 16 months in new French oak.

The wine opens with aromas of boysenberry and spice with hints of sandalwood, nutmeg and cardamom. On the palate Vellum falls broadly with velvety tannins that float mid-palate before enveloping the tongue. The oak is restrained, allowing strong expression of blackberry and black raspberry with background notes of graphite and espresso. More spice comes through on ... ...read more
