Created especially for our Wine Club Members, our Holiday Bottles are a way of thanking members for their loyalty and providing them with uniquely elegant bottles ideal for festive holiday celebrations and thoughtful gifts. The brainchild of General Manager Nat Komes, whose grandmother, Flora, imbued him with a love for the holidays, each wine is meticulously etched and painted by hand, with capsules and back labels applied one by one. As the only Napa Valley winery to offer new holiday designs each year, we pour ourselves into this annual project, ensuring that each bottle is absolute perfection inside and out.

The Design
The artwork for this etching was inspired by the rare sight of a stunning amount of snow on Mount St. Helena after a blizzard in February 2023. Infatuated by the rarity of the sight of snow in the valley, we wanted to celebrate this moment with the symbol of a snowflake. Each one perfect in its own way, completely individual and unique in its intricate and delicate shape.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2021 Holiday Blend consists primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and combines fruit from outstanding, sustainably-farmed vineyards in Napa Valley; the Komes Vineyard in Rutherford and the Crossroads vineyard in Oakville. Flavors of blackberry jam, dark plum and red boysenberry are at the core of this plush red and generous wine, accompanied by notes of toasted spice, vanilla and dark chocolate. The wonderful dark fruit flavors are layered with notes of dark espresso bean and menthol to the palate, along with attractive hints of cedar and spice. The perfect wine to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy with loved ones.
Vintage
The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley will be remembered for a smooth, uneventful growing season and harvest that produced low yields of intensely flavored, small-sized grape clusters. The season started off with very little rain and continued as a dry, sunny summer led to a relatively cool fall with weeks of lovely weather. 2021 represented the second drought year in a row, and while concerning in the long term, the dry weather resulted in a more natural crop load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes were packed with flavor leading to powerful, concentrated wines.
