In addition to producing wines under our own label, Mike Smith is also the winemaker for several other quality producers in the Napa Valley.
Quivet Cellars
Quivet Cellars produces very limited quantities of handcrafted boutique Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, by selecting specific rows of fruit from Spring Mountain, Kenefick Ranch and Las Madres Vineyard. The premium fruit is uniquely crushed, aged in rare French Oak and masterfully blended by winemaker Mike Smith into the wines of Quivet Cellars.
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, resulting from this process, are outstanding in flavor, fragrance, and body. These unique wines are available to those who are part of the Quivet family in limited releases.
VisitScarlett Wines
Scarlett/ MCG Cellars is a family passion. From the vine to the table everyone involved with the MCG brand shares their passion for making the best ultra-premium estate wine possible. The vision is to create wine that is elegant in structure and balance and consistent in quality vintage after vintage. The guiding principle is that making ultra-premium estate wine has always been an art driven by passion – yet they have never forgotten that wine is meant, quite simply, to be enjoyed!
Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon, named after the founder’s great granddaughter, is crafted exclusively from fruit grown on our 64-acre Rutherford Estate. Scarlett, the inaugural offering by MCG Cellars, holds a special place in the hearts of the family as the driving force behind the brand.
ViewBecklyn Cellars
Matt and Amber Denny’s goal was simple, find the best fruit they could personally put their hands on, find the best winemaker in the business, and be involved in every step of the process. Becklyn Cellars wines are hand crafted from start to finish. We source our grapes from the prestigious Rutherford and St Helena Districts in Napa Valley. The wines are aged in new French oak and carefully bottled with the utmost care to preserve their unique balance and complexity.
ViewPatiné Cellars
PATINÉ (pa-tee-nay) means to have skated in French; an act that requires both power and grace. Jim’s career as a professional hockey player was defined by the game that requires strength, endurance, structure, balance, elegance and skill. It is not a surprise that these are the very same qualities that we strive to achieve in the production of our Single Vineyard Designate Pinot Noir. We are committed to sourcing fruit from vineyards that are meticulously farmed in an effort to produce handcrafted world class wines. We are not only thrilled but also humbled to have our friend and winemaker Mike Smith at the helm of our endeavor.
VisitKindred Wines
Kindred was born of a love of wine and a great friendship of over 15 years. In 2004, Kevin Jones met Mike and Leah Smith at a summer party. They happened to have brought barrel samples of their new project called Myriad.
Later that year, they met again and shared a 1964 Borgogno Riserva in their back yard. Coincidentally, Kevin had previously enjoyed the same wine on his birthday a few months earlier. This moment was the beginning of a friendship that has spanned over 15 years. We are thankful for that one fall evening and the memories that have been shared since.
