HOW IT ALL STARTED
After establishing themselves in the hospitality industry, Nashville-based founders, Mason and Curt Revelette, decided to embark on their journey to create their own private wine label. As restauranteurs, the Revelettes have had the opportunity to taste countless wines for their restaurants, and sought to create wines of their own. After years of research and tasting, the Revelettes started production of a Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon and a Napa Valley proprietary red blend released in 2022. Initially, the brothers envisioned Revelette Wines as a passion project and only planned to sell the wine in their restaurants. However, when presented with the opportunity to present the wine to be placed at a five-start luxury hotel in New York City, plans changed. Within months of receiving some of the first bottles, the wine had been picked up by two five-star hotels. Needless to say, what started as a passion project turned into much more.
PLANTING OUR ROOTS IN RUTHERFORD
The Revelettes acquired the Rutherford vineyard in the fall of 2022. Situated in the northwest portion of the Rutherford bench, the vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon with plans to plant Sauvignon Blanc in the summer of 2024. The Rutherford AVA is located at the valley's widest point making it the sweet spot for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Rutherford's geographic placement exposes the grapes to the most sunlight in the valley yielding robust and complex flavors.
​
The 2.6 acres are currently comprised of entirely Cabernet Sauvignon (clones 169 and 412 on rootstock 1616C) planted in 2015 by the Witt family. The vineyard is maintained and managed by Chris Walden of Vinedresser, Inc.
​
The property is also home to over 30 olive trees which the family uses to produce its Revelette Estate Olive Oil.
