About Erikson & Caradin
Erikson & Caradin is a collaborative wine project between two passionate Napa Valley winemakers who bring complementary skills and perspectives to their shared label. The partnership allows each to contribute their strengths — one excels at vineyard sourcing and viticulture, the other at cellar work and blending — resulting in wines that benefit from a depth of expertise that few small projects can match.
The portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon and proprietary red blends sourced from vineyards across Napa Valley's most respected sub-appellations. Each lot is vinified separately, then the partners collaborate on blending, bringing their different palates and philosophies to the table. The creative tension of partnership produces wines with layers of complexity that a single winemaker might not achieve alone. Aging in French oak adds structure and polish.
Erikson & Caradin pours at their Napa tasting room, where visitors can experience the wines and hear the story of the partnership behind them. Tastings are conversational and engaging, with opportunities to discuss the blending process and the vineyard sources that make each wine unique. The collaborative spirit extends to the hospitality — the experience feels genuine and personal.
