The wines crafted here demonstrate why Napa Valley’s Rutherford appellation is world-renowned.

Joel and Sarah Gott welcomed their first child on August 15, 2003. And so their wine was named: 815. Joel, famous for his James Beard award-winning Taylor’s Refresher Diner, and his wife Sarah of Insignia and Quintessa fame, combined their talents in this wine as well. The wine has a beautiful nose—evoking blackberry, cassis, plum and spicy oak aromas, followed by the rich flavors of blueberry, blackberry, plum and mocha.
