Inaugural Release
The Houstonian – Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Our flagship 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
$95 / Bottle

The Houstonian – Red Wine, Napa Valley
Our premium 2019 Red Wine from Napa Valley is an artful red blend created by Executive Winemaker, Todd Heth. This wine exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.

The Houstonian – Chardonnay, Napa Valley
Our exquisite 2021 Chardonnay from Napa Valley balances the fullness of fruit with the dance of elegance. This wine exhibits purity of fruit that includes melon and poached pear, followed by lemon custard and faint toastiness on the nose. Exotic fruit notes of mango and pineapple mesh with the vanilla and spicy wood from French oak provides this medium bodied wine that finishes on a sweet note.

"My family roots are in south and east Texas. My granddaddy, Harold “Bill” Chaney, was a roughneck and I grew up hearing stories of “Scissor Bill” working in the Texas oil fields in the 1930’s and 1940’s. I am honored to make these wines for the University of Houston in the great state of Texas!"
