We are a luxury producer of Bordeaux varietals and blends from Napa Valley. Led by Managing Partner Taylor Martin and Director of Winegrowing Marbue Marke, we employ both estate and négociant winemaking to the same end: to highlight the best of what our estate and Napa Valley has to offer. Our goal is to pull back the curtain and give a unique insight into how great, well balanced, and nuanced wines are grown.
While searching for a vineyard to represent Napa’s 16th AVA (Coombsville) we discovered our new estate home. Here, on 73 acres in the foothills of the Vacas southeast of Napa, we constructed a winery, complete with 16,000 sq. ft. of caves and stunning views from almost every perch, with the aim to create what can only be described as wine bliss.
As winegrowers, we chose the name because our belief is that the best wines are a revelation of place. A place that can be as small as a vineyard block or as large as an entire AVA. If that place has something to say − a nuance you can appreciate − Italics will go to great lengths to draw it out. To italicize it. Our limited production, top-tier wines, are held for Members of our Wine Club, and most sell out within hours of release.
