The Vice
The Vice Wine is a Napa Valley luxury wine brand made in small batches. Each batch is crafted from single grape varietals sourced from hand selected vineyards that best express the grape varietal and the region that it comes from. The Vice Wine is a result of passionate labor, sustainable farming, a long expertise of the wine industry and a current understanding of the consumer’s wine trend.
The Vice Wine is about as personal of a brand as it gets. Everything is done by the founders. We drive the truck to get our fruit, we crush, bottle, label; we do everything by hand when possible. We design the labels, work the market, and sell the wine.
We believe that the best wines in the world aren’t the most expensive ones. We thrive at providing the best quality wine at the best value.

From this Winery
Batch #79 is The Vice’s 3rd Orange Wine release.
The orange hue color of this wine comes from the skin contact and skin maceration during fermentation of our gewürztraminer grapes; the same process that gives red wine its color, tannins and also contributes to its flavor.
“The House” wines are The Vice’s expression of Napa Valley wines for the everyday occasion. Batch #49 was minimally crafted and aged for 1o months in French Oak barrels; making it a house wine easy to love on its own and a great companion to a variety of vices.
A wide range of aromas including lemon curd, honeydew melon, pear and spice. Medium-bodied, it begins minerally on the palate and gains persistence and amplitude with roasted almond and macadamia nut flavors. It has a very fresh and uplifting acidity while it remains delicate and elegant throughout its lengthy finish.
At The Vice, we excel at crafting single varietal wines from historic single vineyards of Napa Valley. Batch #35 is a pure expression of Pinot Noir from Truchard’s Family vineyard in Carneros. We deserve no credit for this wine, as our interference with it was both extremely minimal, in the vineyard and in the cellar.
Every day at The Vice, we put every effort at crafting the best of Napa Valley wines; and to making them accessible for the every day occasion. Every month of the year, we release a unique batch of our Napa Valley wines; yet “The House” Cabernet Sauvignon continues to be our most famous batch, that makes every day a very special occasion.
Our 3rd vintage release Malbec. “The Lucky Monkey” is our winemaker, that managed to craft this wine in the midst of a global pandemic, drought and historic wildfires. Batch #77 is our cellar staff favorite, a 9 barrels batch of 100% Malbec, from our single vineyard in Coombsville AVA.
“Once upon a time in the wild west, there were 6 barrels of The Vice precious Oak Knoll District Cab that were held hostage.
“Mr Vice”came to the rescue, freed the wine and bottled it for you unfiltered and un-fined”
“Double Oak Series is an innovative approach to Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for a total of 32 months, these limited series Cabernets first aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, then matured for an additional 12 months in new American Oak barrels. The result is unique, exquisite and unforgettable.”

Our 3rd vintage release of Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon. This batch is dedicated to our dear friends and mentors Abigail and Warren J Spector.
Our 3nd vintage release of Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon was born above the clouds of Mount Veeder at an average elevation of 2400 Feet. A century prior, this vineyard and its cellar served as haven for bootleggers during the early years of Prohibition.
Stags Leap District Cabernets made Napa Valley World famous after winning the Judgment of Paris in 1976. A quarter century later of progress, innovation, awards and sustainability has helped Napa become the World’s greatest wine growing region; and for Napa Cab to reign King.
Batch #40 is a select blend of our best barrels of mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the dream vintage of 2018.
Napa Valley’s mountain vineyards are the most difficult to farm, and they are the source of some of the best, rarest and most prestigious wines in the world.
Each of the five mountain AVAs—Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain District, Howell Mountain, and Spring Mountain District—makes up for less than 1% of the wine made in Napa Valley.
