From special mountain and valley floor vineyards...
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Layla Cabernet Sauvignon
Named for the Persian love story of Layla and Majnun, who fell madly in love, but Layla's father had promised her to another. For the rest of his life, Majnun was haunted by his love of the raven-haired seductress, who he could never have.
Our first vintage of Layla (2019) was released in May 2023 and was rated 95 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. The wine is a dark seductress that will intoxicate your senses and leave you wanting more.

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
From an iconic vineyard located on the valley floor in Rutherford. We don't use the grower or vineyard name on this one as we would have to charge a lot more for it. We can tell you its peer group charges 2 to 3 times for their wines coming from neighboring vineyard blocks.

Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Syrah
Cabernet Franc Coombsville
Located on Kruezer Lane in the Coombsville AVA, we've been using this vineyard for another project, and we were so impressed with what we tasted, we decided to add it to our Jean Edwards Cellars portfolio.
The is a beautiful cabernet franc in a richer, fuller style - a perfect fit with our portfolio. The wine has great texture and beautiful floral aromatics - we think you'll love it! In early August, we'll be bottling the 2021 vintage.
Malbec - Rutherford
Our malbec fruit comes from the estate vineyard of one of Napa Valley's most iconic growers. The vineyard is located in the northern portion of the Rutherford Bench.

Merlot - Oak Knoll
Owned by one of Napa Valley's most iconic growers, this vineyard sits on the valley floor, in the shadows of the Mayacamus Mountains. This cooler portion of Oak Knoll provides us with exceptionally long hang-time for our fruit.
An expressive nose with baked plums, black cherry, hints of spice, and dried roses. The full palate offers an array of dark red berry fruit, earth and spice with soft, dusty tannins. A cab drinker's merlot. Click here for ratings.
Petite Sirah - Napa Valley
Our petite sirah offering is released under our Cooper's Cuvee brand of wines that honor our Labrador retrievers - past and present. Our Blackpaw petite sirah comes from Berry Vineyard located in Calistoga.
Dark purple in the glass, the nose shows meaty black and blue fruits, pepper, violets and spice. Inky and voluptuous but not overdone - our petite sirah style is more refined allowing you to consume this one a bit earlier than most. Click here for ratings.
Syrah - Philary Vineyard Atlas Peak
This low yield, high elevation vineyard is located on the steep westerly facing slopes of Atlas Peak. Owned by Phil and Hilary Brody, who meticulously farm and maintain this special vineyard. We eek out a ton of fruit each vintage and every drop is liquid gold.

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Rose'
Old World inspired sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and rose...
Sauvignon Blanc - Dalla Gasperina Vineyard Rutherford
Dalla Gasperina Vineyard is located at the northern end of Rutherford. This organic vineyard produces wines of great character and depth.
Our sauvignon blanc is old world, French-inspired. The wine has a rounded palate of soft citrus notes, mango, papaya and lemon curd, followed by hints of minerality. The wine is aged in neutral French oak and stirred on the lees - this provides texture to the wine and a full-bodied style. Click here for ratings.
Chardonnay - Sonoma Coast
Gold Coast Vineyard is located in the southern end of the Sonoma Coast AVA. This vineyard is marine-influenced - the first to receive the evening fog and the last to see it retreat. This provides for long hang times and flavor development.
Our style is Burgundian-inspired. The palate is rich with tiers of apple, honeydew and pears. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation which results in a lush mid-mouth but is not overtly buttery.
Red Collar Rose'
Produced under the Cooper's Cuvee brand, we call this wine "Red Collar" because black Labrador retrievers always wear red collars.
The 2022 vintage is a rose' wine produced from cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec and merlot. It was produced using the saignee' method at harvest, which results in a bigger, bolder and darker rose' style of wine that fits perfectly with our portfolio.
While this wine reminds us of "summer in a glass", you'll drink this one year-round.
