Argyle
Argyle Winery needed an effective way to educate customers on their new practice of using screw caps vs. cork for some of their Pinot Noir. This premium brand called for a sophisticated, eye-catching solution without the need of a sommelier.

Bailey Estate
I worked with Steve Bailey to develop materials that reflect the traditional character of his estate. Today, the 15-acre property is home to Benza Vineyards, where Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris continue to be grown.

VinStrata
After brainstorming names, “VinStrata” emerged as the natural choice for this boutique winery. “Vin” (wine) paired with “Strata” (layers) reflects the connection between the vines and the ancient, fossil-rich soil.
The name is elegant without being pretentious and mirrors the style of winemaker Laurent Montalieu.

Leap of Faith
Noma Hanlon, owner of HB Design, asked me to design wine labels for a custom-blended Pinot Noir bottled for her private collection. The dreamlike label was inspired by the quote she selected: “Sometimes the only transportation available is a Leap of Faith.”
