"The House" wines are The Vice's expression of Napa Valley wines that can be enjoyed every day for any occasion.

The wine was aged as minimally as possible in French oak barrels for 10 months.

It can be enjoyed on its own as a house wine, and also pairs wonderfully with a variety of Weisses (things that are not good for you but you can't stop drinking).

Aromas of rose, wild strawberry and dark cherry are accented with subtle hints of vanilla and coconut.

The palate is smooth with a core of red fruit, concentrated minerals and solid strength, leading to a fresh, juicy finish with notes of pomegranate, dried herbs and chocolate.

Globally, 2020 will be remembered as a very strange and unique year...

That was no different for a Napa vintage.

Initially, typical growing conditions from March through to August were thought to be on track for a perfect harvest.

However, on Monday, August 17th, just as the 2020 harvest was about to begin, numerous thunderstorms struck Napa and sparked fires.

We were fortunate to be able to harvest our Pinot Noir grapes early and avoid the smoky weather that caused many other growers to abandon their harvests.

The Vice is a brand that produces small batches of high quality wines from Napa Valley.

Each wine is made from a single grape variety, hand-selected from vineyards that best represent that grape variety and its region.

The brand was born from passionate people, sustainable agriculture, years of expertise in the wine industry and an understanding of current consumer wine trends.

The Vice is as personal a brand as you could ask for, and it's all run by the founders.

They drive trucks to get the grapes, crush them, bottle them, label them, and do as much by hand as possible.

The founders also design the labels, market and sell the wines.

The Vice believes that "the best wine in the world" does not necessarily mean "the most expensive," and is committed to providing the highest quality wines at the best value.
