Winter up at the cellar is secretly beautiful. Vines may be sleeping, wines are in barrel. And everything else is coming to life while covered in frost. Mustard season is right around the corner.

If you haven't visited yet, you really should.

Panthera Pinot Noir. The vibrant purity of Sonoma fruit meets the confidence of French oak. Pour it for Pinot Noir Day.

Indulgent, elegant. Lion Tamer Cabernet is a structured beauty that'll remind you of market-fresh black cherries and dark plums. It echoes with mocha and vanilla. Pair it alongside the silky pappardelle bolognese you spent all day making.

Today we're pouring our favorite, Panthera Russian River Chardonnay.
It's a bright, lemony gem that always has our heads swimming in memories of cracking into a creme brûlée and licking the spoon from a just-made batch of lemon curd.

In 2014, we had just started to make our dream a reality when Napa experienced an earthquake.

We weren't the only ones who woke up to incredible damage, crushed tanks, and lost wine. It was a pivotal moment for us to persevere and start from scratch.

We kept this tank in the cellar as a reminder. Not of the moment, but of the resilience that came after.

Take your first sip of Panthera Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and you'll swim in rich raspberry compote sparked with clove and toasted oak. It'll make you crave Bing cherries and good times.

In the last 7 years, Mother Nature has thrown us many curve balls. Through earthquakes and droughts, we've persevered toward a vision of inspiring the next generation of Napa. There's plenty to be thankful for this year. A good harvest, beautiful wines, and the tenacity of this cellar.
