Overcast Days with Carpenter Wine

In the heart of the Petaluma Gap, amidst rolling hills and whispering vines, lies the source of Carpenter Wines’ remarkable Pinot Noir—Old Road #3 Vineyard. It was here, under the vast expanse of the California sky, that Jake Hawkes and I spent an unforgettable day exploring the terroir that shapes the character of Carpenter Wines.

A Spectacle of Light and Land

The Petaluma Gap is renowned for its unique climate, where the cool Pacific breezes meet the warmth of the sun to create the perfect conditions for Pinot Noir. But it’s not just the climate that makes this place special; it’s the light. There’s something almost magical about the way the light dances across the vineyard, casting long shadows and bathing the grapes in a warm, golden glow. It’s this spectacular light that imbues Carpenter Wines with its distinct, expressive qualities.

From Vine to Bottle: The Journey of Carpenter Wines

As we walked among the rows of vines, Jake shared insights into the meticulous care and passion that goes into each bottle of Carpenter Wines. The Pinot Noir grapes, nurtured by the soil of Old Road #3, are handpicked with reverence for the land and its legacy. This commitment to quality and sustainability is at the heart of Carpenter Wines, where tradition and innovation intertwine to create wines that truly reflect the essence of their origin.

Designing the Label: A Tribute to Terroir

Capturing the spirit of Old Road #3 Vineyard and the essence of Carpenter Wines in a label was a challenge I eagerly embraced. The design process was a journey of translating the vineyard’s story, its light, and its landscape into a visual form that speaks to the heart of the wine enthusiast. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Petaluma Gap and the artisanal craftsmanship of Carpenter Wines, the label I designed is a homage to the place, the people, and the passion that make these wines genuinely exceptional.

A Day to Remember

As the day drew to a close, with the setting sun casting a final, glorious light over Old Road #3, I felt a profound connection to the land and a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking. This experience was not just about designing a label; it was about understanding the story of Carpenter Wines, from the soil to the sip. It was a reminder that great wine is not just made; it is crafted with intention, love, and a deep respect for nature.
