Deep in the cave, the barrels breathe. The air is Deep in the cave, the barrels breathe. The air is cool, the silence thick with stories of harvests past. This is where Carte Blanche takes shape — not rushed, not forced — just time, oak, and a whole lot of soul working their magic underground.
Scenes from Harvest. The weather for the most part Scenes from Harvest. The weather for the most part has cooperated with us. Although a few showers here and there were a little bump in the road, all of the fruit that has come in has been incredible. We can’t wait to share this vintage with you.
Fruit is in! We received Cabernet Sauvignon from t Fruit is in! We received Cabernet Sauvignon from the famed Missouri Hopper vineyard this week and we couldn’t be more pleased with the harvest!

Every winery has its signature, a wine that embodi Every winery has its signature, a wine that embodies its vision. For us, that’s The Mark. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Napa Valley’s most esteemed vineyards, The Mark represents precision, patience, and the pursuit of excellence.

Fruit is coming in during the early hours of the m Fruit is coming in during the early hours of the morning before dawn.At Carte Blanche, we harvest fruit in the early morning hours for a few key reasons:Temperature & FreshnessThe early morning is the coolest part of the day. Picking fruit while it’s still cold helps preserve acidity, freshness, and balance in the grapes. It also slows down oxidation, which keeps the berries vibrant and true to their vineyard expression.Winemaking PrecisionCool fruit arrives at the winery in better condition. It’s firmer, less fragile, and easier to sort and process. That means less chance of premature fermentation starting in the bins and more control for the winemaker once the fruit hits the cellar.Flavor & StructureBy protecting the fruit from heat during harvest, we preserve the delicate aromatics and fine tannins that define Carte Blanche wines. This ensures that what you taste in the glass reflects the nuance of the vineyard rather than the stress of a hot day.Practical Harvest WorkFor the vineyard team, early mornings are safer and more efficient. Working in cooler weather helps pickers maintain stamina and speed, which ensures the fruit gets to the winery quickly and in pristine condition.📸: @garretmurphyphotography

The tractors are lined up, patiently waiting for t The tractors are lined up, patiently waiting for the frenzy of harvest.
Every great wine estate has a benchmark, a bottle Every great wine estate has a benchmark, a bottle that defines its ambition. For Carte Blanche, that is The Mark. Sourced from Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyard sites and crafted in collaboration with legendary winemaker Philippe Melka, The Mark is a masterful blend that captures the essence of place and the discipline of time.Each vintage is carefully composed of Bordeaux varietals—Cabernet Sauvignon at its core, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot lending nuance, depth, and age-worthy structure. The result is a wine of remarkable precision: dark fruit layered with tobacco leaf, graphite, and subtle spice, framed by supple tannins that promise decades of evolution.This isn’t just a flagship wine—it’s our signature, the culmination of vision and heritage bottled to stand among Napa Valley’s finest. The Mark leaves an impression that endures, long after the glass is empty.#CarteBlancheWine #TheMark #NapaValley #FineWine #PhilippeMelka

Thank you to the @jacksonvillegolf for hosting an Thank you to the @jacksonvillegolf for hosting an amazing winemaker dinner with us last week.We’re grateful for the incredible company and the meaningful conversations shared around the dinner table. At Carte Blanche, we’re reminded time and again that wine has a way of connecting people—something we cherish and enjoy. Few things are more rewarding than raising a glass together. Here’s to you, and here’s to the weekend ahead.
Harvest is the most dynamic time of year at Carte Harvest is the most dynamic time of year at Carte Blanche, and our founder Nick approaches it with the same philosophy that inspired him to start the winery: each vintage is a blank canvas, and every decision matters. From the timing of the pick to the choice of fermentations, harvest is where the character of the vintage takes shape.Nick’s belief has always been that by sourcing from Napa and Sonoma’s most iconic vineyard sites and working with an extraordinary winemaking team, Carte Blanche can craft wines that reflect both place and season. 2025 is already shaping up to be a vintage of vibrancy and depth—and we can’t wait to share it with you. 🍇✨Hashtags:
