The Collection.

01 2022 Brother Blend bottle

2022Brother Blend

A layered red blend built with precision and restraint — dark fruit, graphite, and soft spice wrapped into a polished structure that feels equally suited for the cellar or the dinner table. Thoughtful, composed, and unmistakably modern Napa.

02 2021 Jemma bottle

2021Jemma

Rich and deeply expressive, Jemma leans into Napa’s darker register — blackberry, crushed violet, cedar, and cocoa carried by an elegant structure that unfolds slowly in the glass. A bottle built for lingering conversations and long evenings.

The Maker

Ellman.

Napa Valley · Small-Lot Wines · Polished Precision

Ellman is the kind of Napa producer that feels intentionally quiet. The wines do not chase volume, noise, or trend. They move with polish, depth, and a sense of restraint that lets the fruit, vintage, and vineyard character carry the conversation.

This collection brings together three distinct expressions from the Ellman portfolio: the 2022 Brother Blend, the 2021 Jemma, and the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc. Together, they show the range of a producer comfortable working across texture and tone, from layered red fruit and structure to a white wine built on clarity, freshness, and precision.

What drew Reserves & Rarities to Ellman is the balance. These are wines with luxury presence, but not excess. They feel composed, modern, and deeply Napa, made for collectors who want bottles that can anchor a dinner, elevate a cellar, and still feel personal when poured.

The Season

Harvest

Late summer into fall

Napa is at its most alive during harvest, with vineyard energy, cellar movement, and the feeling that every great bottle begins before it ever reaches the glass.

The Table

Oenotri

Downtown Napa

A smart Napa dinner after tasting: handmade pasta, wood-fired cooking, and enough restraint to let a polished Cabernet or red blend stay in the center of the conversation.

The Pour

Jemma

Collector-minded Cabernet

If you only have time to focus on one bottle, make it Jemma. It carries the Ellman signature clearly: depth, polish, structure, and a finish built for a long dinner.
