Wine & Friendship

Great friendships make great wine and few friends better demonstrate this then the guys behind Karl Lawrence Cellars. Karl Lawrence Cellars was started by two friends who wanted to make a unique Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley. The name comes from the two founder’s middle names, who later partnered with one of the founder’s brothers. He lends his middle name to their Aldin Chardonnay and Red Wine.

The wines are made from some of the greatest cab and chardonnay producing vineyards in the Napa Valley – proof that these guys know how to make friends. Take their signature cabernet - 100% cab made from fruit sourced from some of the best Napa Valley vineyards – Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford, Lamb Family Vineyard located on the hillsides of Howell Mountain, To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and the Dr. Crane vineyard in St. Helena.

There’s usually a wait to get on the mailing list but if you can score a spot, it’s worth it. Their web site also has a great blog where you can get a peak into what the owners are up to. And you can always give them a call when you are in the Napa Valley and stop by for a taste of the latest vintages.
