Winemaker Notes

The Mad Hatter is an aromatic blend of plum, wild raspberry, fig, Maraschino cherry, and cocoa powder and a hint of baking spice. On the palate, it has bold and lively flavors with a rich mouthfeel and a long, smooth finish.

The word "amulet" comes from the Latin word amuletum, which means "an object that provides good fortune" or a good luck charm. 

More than a talisman, the true mark of the Amulet Estate portfolio is a nod to the pioneering spirit of early Napa Valley viticulture and a deep respect for the land. Their portfolio extends far beyond the estate and into many other distinctive and historic vineyards. Blessed with close proximity to America’s most celebrated vintners and growers, they strive to embrace the values inherent in their community. Since acquiring the estate and vineyards in 2016, it has been their goal to create world class wines that reflect the profound expressions of The Napa Valley; and build a boutique winery "a gathering place" that reflects both their family values and the best of Napa Valley. 

Their approach to winemaking and hospitality encourage continued growth and graceful evolution. 

Their attention to detail in the vineyard coupled with a gentle winemaking philosophy allow them to produce wines with elevated purity that reflect the place the grapes were grown. They invite their guests to enter the gates and immerse themselves in what they do everyday and taste the fruits of their labor. Keeping their minds and eyes on what’s to come, appreciating the past as a compass to guide them forward, their vision for Amulet Estate and their portfolio is an outcome of merging classic and familiarity in progressive movement.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
