Dear Davies and Schramsberg Club Members,
On behalf of our family and the whole two-winery team, we thank you for helping us celebrate our Diamond Anniversary! It has been one heck of a year, taking us from Diamond Mountain to Big Sky, the Windy City, Buffalo, Baltimore, Palm Beach, San Juan, the Big D, Sedona, Corona del Mar and beyond. Your enthusiasm for our craft – our Cabernets, Pinots and Bubbles – is truly appreciated. 60 years in, we feel like we’ve connected with the best fans in the world, giving us the opportunity to pursue our passion to the “nth” degree. We count our blessings and extend our very best wishes to you all for the holidays and the year ahead!
With our 61st harvest now in the books, we reflect on the cooler growing season of 2025, and the bright, vibrant, fruitful depth of the young wines now resting in our tanks and barrels. Our team looks forward to the blending season ahead and to the serious aging potential of the vintage. In addition, we give a huge shout out to 45-year Schramsberg veteran cellar man, Miguel Moreno, on his retirement. He has been a steady hand for ¾ of our time here – we just couldn’t be where are today without his committed effort.
In the meantime, it’s time for the holidays, and it is a thrill to share many tasty bottles from our cellar with all of you for the occasion. The highlights from our Schramsberg sparkling wine program are the “60th Anniversary” labelled 2007 and 2000 Late Disgorged J. Schrams! While their small production limits our club shipment of these remarkable bottles to our Riddler’s Circle members, we invite you to reach out to us at the wineries for the additional bottles that we have remaining. Jack & Jamie’s Circle members are in for a library treat as well, as our 2002 J. Davies Estate Diamond Mountain Cabernet and 2014 Nobles Ft. Ross Pinot are coming your way. And for those that have joined the Hugh & Monique Collection, we are excited to be delivering our first holiday sparkling and red wine combination shipment to you.
Here’s to all club members at this most wonderful time of year! Thank you for allowing our wines to play a role at your table. We look forward to raising a glass with you in the year ahead – at a club party in Napa Valley, a wine dinner in a restaurant in your hometown, or perhaps on next holiday season’s Australia / New Zealand Cruise!
With our very best,
Hugh, Monique, and the Schramsberg / Davies Family
