The Collection.

01 2023 Nancy's Vineyard Cab bottle

2023Nancy's Vineyard Cab

A vineyard-designate Cabernet with quiet power and a generous center. Dark cherry, cassis, and warm spice move through a polished structure, giving the wine both immediate charm and the kind of depth that rewards a slower pour.

2022IBex Merlot

Plush, rounded, and beautifully composed, this Merlot brings black plum, cocoa, and soft earth into balance without losing its lift. It is generous enough for the table, but structured enough to remind you it was made with intention.

The Maker

Smith Devereux.

Ian Devereux White · Steve Smith · Rudy Zuidema

Smith Devereux does not feel like a winery built from a spreadsheet. It feels like a winery built by people with point of view: founder and vintner Ian Devereux White, founder Steve Smith, and winemaker Rudy Zuidema. The wines carry that same energy, polished enough for the collector, but relaxed enough to belong at the table.

The collection brings together three distinct expressions: Nancy's Vineyard Cabernet, IBex Merlot, and Setta Red. Each bottle shows a different side of the house style, from structured Napa Cabernet to plush mountain-grown Merlot to a red blend with depth, texture, and an easy kind of confidence.

What drew Reserves & Rarities to Smith Devereux is the balance between craftsmanship and personality. These are limited-production Napa wines with real character: sustainably minded, food-friendly, and made to be opened, shared, and remembered.
