Private Labels
Paul Lato is one of California'’s finest artisanal winemakers. He is a hybrid of a poet and a chemist. His elegant wines showcase his genuine passion for what he does with labels signing off “with love and gratitude.” Paul’s approach to winemaking is similar to his design style expressing authenticity, harmony, and elegance - splashed with an undercurrent of humor. He created “pop-up” wines that are not part of his established wine library that are an avenue to experiment and have fun.
Collaboration:
Created custom label designs for micro-production wines. Each label has a theme and unique stylistic approach. Paul’s conceptual Inspirations come from his life experiences and often shared in sketch form. From moon vineyards to sipping Malvasia on a boat in Croatia turned discoteque - endless ideas and fun. on the beautiful wine itself.
"The 2020 Space Cadet is the star in this range from Paul Lato. Silky and aromatic, the 2020 is hauntingly beautiful from the get-go. Inky red/purplish fruit, sage, cedar, tobacco, incense and dried flowers are some of the many notes that race across the palate. All the elements are so well balanced. Space Cadet is mostly Syrah and some Grenache, but the Grenache really seems to drive the profile today."
