Tonight the CB team got together and enjoyed a din Tonight the CB team got together and enjoyed a dinner at one of our favorite places in Napa Valley - @brasswoodnapavalley - to celebrate the occasion we shared a bottle of 2015 Carte Blanche Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, our first 100 point wine. It was an amazing night, and the wine sang like an epic ballad. It was a night for us to be thankful for all of you who have supported this dream throughout the years. Tonight we raise a glass to you, and thank you…thank you for believing in us, our story, our wines, and what we do. Cheers to you, from the CB crew.

Winter, done right. A fire crackling nearby, the n Winter, done right.
A fire crackling nearby, the night slowing down, and a glass of Carte Blanche in hand—Cabernet built for cold evenings, quiet conversations, and that last log on the fire.
Between the quiet rows of dormant vines, the musta Between the quiet rows of dormant vines, the mustard is back—painting the vineyard floor gold across Napa Valley. It’s not just a pretty winter moment. Mustard acts as a natural cover crop, loosening compacted soils, improving drainage, and drawing nutrients up from deep below. When it’s turned back into the earth, it feeds the soil, boosts organic matter, and helps suppress pests and weeds—setting the stage for healthier vines come spring.#vineyards #vines #wine #winery #napavalley

Winter in the vineyard arrives with rain—and purpo Winter in the vineyard arrives with rain—and purpose. Seasonal storms replenish groundwater, allowing nutrients stored deep beneath the valley floor to move back into the root zone. While the vines rest in dormancy, their roots remain active, absorbing water and essential minerals that will fuel budbreak and early shoot growth in the months ahead. After the rains, rainbows often follow—a quiet reminder that this slow, soaking season is doing the most important work of the year.📸: @garretmurphyphotography

Winter is here. ❄️ In the vineyard, everything slo Winter is here. ❄️
In the vineyard, everything slows down—and that’s the magic. The vines slip into dormancy, conserving energy, sending their roots deeper, quietly preparing for what’s next. Pruning shapes the future vintage, cold nights reset the soils, and the land gets the rest it deserves.It’s a season of patience and promise—one that reminds us great wines are made long before the first budbreak. 🍷
