The Makers of Handcrafted Wine from Carmel Valley AVA

Perched on a south facing rocky slope in Carmel Valley, California, 1,100 Bordeaux varietal grapevines are hand manicured and pampered to produce a sumptuous Cabernet blend.

These vines relish warm summer days and cool evening ocean breezes. Hand picked and crushed by the Crist family, this estate grown wine is lovingly hand crafted.

“This tiny hillside vineyard has produced a fantastic rich Cabernet that is both intense and classic with the feel of a top Bordeaux and the ripeness of a Napa wine.” GRAPELIVE

The Crist Family is proud to introduce our first release: 2002 Estate grown Crist Family Vineyard Spencer’s Cabernet Sauvignon.  With only 96 cases made, Spencer’s Cabernet Sauvignon can only be found in a few local restaurants and bottle shops in Carmel and Carmel Valley. This wine won’t last long.

We hope you enjoy our wine as you celebrate life with family and friends.  Cheers.
