About Carte Blanche Wine
Carte Blanche Wine is a boutique Napa Valley project that gives its winemaker complete creative freedom, hence the name. The label focuses on small-lot Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends sourced from premium vineyard sites across the valley, with each vintage reflecting the winemaker's artistic vision for that particular growing season. No two vintages are exactly alike, which is precisely the point.
Winemaking at Carte Blanche is guided by instinct and experience rather than formula. The winemaker selects lots based on what inspires them each harvest, blending for complexity and balance without being bound by tradition or expectation. Aging in French oak develops structure and aromatic depth, while careful assemblage creates wines that feel cohesive and purposeful. The result is a portfolio that rewards curiosity and celebrates the artistry of blending.
Carte Blanche pours in downtown Napa, where visitors can experience the current releases in a relaxed, conversation-driven setting. Tasting flights are curated to tell the story of each vintage and the creative decisions behind the wines. The experience is best suited for wine lovers who appreciate the craft of blending and who enjoy wines that challenge convention while remaining deeply rooted in Napa Valley quality.
