Winemaker Notes
The synergy of Nigel Kinsman’s winemaking and Michel Rolland’s mastery of blends is on full display with this classically structured wine showcasing what we believe is some of the best fruit of the Napa Valley. Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine is crafted with hand-selected lots from our heritage vineyard sites, the 1520 Vineyard on Diamond Mountain, and the Bench Vineyard in the Stags Leap District.
About Winery
Our name, Annulus, derived from the Latin word for “ring,” is an homage to the cycles and circles found in nature and those forged in the process of making and sharing wine. It is inspired by our deep appreciation of Napa Valley’s agricultural cycle that extends from dormancy to bud break to veraison to harvest. It celebrates the spirit of gathering that radiates from the circle of family and friends around our table to yours.
Our Annulus motif is a visual representation of these circles and connections. It features an oak tree as a symbol of our family home in the Napa Valley.
