ELLMAN, New Kid on the Blocks, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2024

Release date: January 2027

Description:

New Kid on the Blocks is a debut, micro-production blend of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the newly planted ¾-acre blocks at the ELLMAN Estate Vineyard. Hand-farmed, hand-harvested, and naturally fermented, this single-vineyard wine is aged in French oak for structure and polish, and produced sustainably and unfiltered. With only five cases crafted, it captures the promise of Napa’s next generation, reflecting both youthful energy and winemaker Andy Erickson’s precision. Rooted in ancient alluvium and gravelly loam, it embodies place, progress, and the beginning of a lasting legacy—a rare glimpse of Napa Valley’s future.
