The Kalaris brand is named after its proprietor, Gus Kalaris, who developed a love for the great wines of Burgundy and a passion for crafting California wines that reflect the uniqueness and beauty of their terroir. It is the newest addition to our family of wines, primarily sourced from the Calistoga Kalaris Family Vineyard. Staying true to the brand's vision, these wines are hand-crafted, produced in small batches, and of the highest quality. They truly reflect Gus's vision to create top-notch wines in a classic old-world style while allowing the wine's Napa Valley origin to shine.

Wine Advocate Robert Parker (Oct 2018) – 94+ points "The deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Franc Kalar is Family Vineyard Estate features a wonderfully fragrant nose of red roses, lilacs, cinnamon stick, and redcurrant jelly over a core of kirsch, black raspberries, and black cherry compote plus a waft of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a great intensity of perfumed redberry flavors and a grainy frame to match, finishing long and vibrant."
