About Portraits in Jazz
The City Winery Signature Series is an exclusive collection of our finest wines with label artwork designed by acclaimed artists. Our debut collection is Portraits in Jazz by William Horberg, a prolific Hollywood movie producer, musician, and talented visual artist who has drawn hundreds of jazz portraits as a way to celebrate, in his own words, "one of the greatest art forms ever created." For Horberg, "drawing the people who make that music is a way for me to remember them." A portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold will go to support the Creative Music Studio, based in Woodstock, NY, where Horberg resides.About the Vineyard
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly special wine, produced from impeccably sourced grapes from the famed Bettinelli Vineyard. Located on a gently sloped, alluvial fan on the west side of the Mayacamas benchland in Yountville, Bettinelli also provides fruit to many of Napa's cult wineries. Bettinelli Vineyard consistently produces top quality wines - a perfect match for William Horberg's fine artwork.Please note our Signature Series wines do not qualify for any discounts, sales or promotions.
