CARNEVALE VINTNERS

BLACKBIRD VINEYARDS is a producer of Right Bank-inspired wines from the Napa Valley. Planted in 1997, the estate vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll District, presenting optimum growing conditions for elegantly styled, appropriately balanced red wines.

HILL FAMILY ESTATE released their first vintage in 2001, a “Beau Terre” vineyard designated Merlot and proprietary blend by the name of “Origin.” The Hills’ passion for wine and love for the Napa Valley originates with family.

ELEVEN ELEVEN WINES celebrates single-vineyard wine for the purity and flawlessness of its varietal, allowing its true expression to shine through. The wines are elegant and nuanced, yet always balanced.

FRIAS FAMILY VINEYARD was founded with its first official vintage in 1991. The vineyard has since expanded operations with various single vineyards around Napa and focuses on producing the finest single vineyard grown Cabernet Sauvignon.

PROSECCO DOC was granted Controlled Designation of Origin status on Jul. 17, 2009 and on Nov. 19, 2009, the Consorzio di Tutela del Prosecco DOC was set up. The consortium includes over 60 producers in provinces located in northeast Italy.

HALL produces critically acclaimed artisan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Its collection features seven estate vineyards, of which five are California Certified Organic (CCOF), which demonstrate the unique characteristics and diversity of Napa Valley terroir.
