Tradition
The client came to CF Napa to redesign their brand packaging to feel more authentic, premium & to capture their winemaking experience. Our solution uses a historic engraving of an eagle sitting atop an ornate framework that encompasses a cluster of grapes. The label utilizes a stock certificate-like design that leverages a vintage date seal and "T" monogram.

AbScent is a conceptual project based on a Birmingham, Alabama based distillery working to produce traditionally made Absinthe in the United States. The design uses Art Nouveau embellishments to represent French tradition mixed with an occult flair as a nod toward the history of the beverage.
Three Chord Bourbon
The client came to CF Napa to design the packaging for their Bourbon that is a blend finished with their trademarked process utilizing tonal vibrations that alter the molecular structure of the bourbon. The black labels are all rock and roll with a guitar pick monogram foil stamped in gold and a framework of flourishes and type that elude to a stage.
Sonoma Brothers Distilling
The design leverages a turn of the century look to give the brand a genuinely Sonoma craft feel. An illustration of the 2 brothers was incorporated to better communicate the core of the brand story & the craftsmen behind the product. Intricate detailing and gold foil elevate the quality perception and communicates the care that goes into the product itself.

Loch & Union Distilling
Loch & Union's namesake was inspired by locations on campus at the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland where their master distiller earned his Master's Degree.

Backhouse
O'Neill Vintners & Distillers asked CF Napa to redesign the Backhouse wine brand to a boutique, artisanal selection to be sold exclusively on-premise primarily for by-the-glass programs.

Bigsby's Folly Winery
The client asked CF Napa to create the icon and brand packaging for their new urban winery. The inspiration for the name came from their dog Bigsby. We designed the label to harken back to the roaring 20?s, when wine production was made in small batches for speakeasies. Bigsby himself became the icon for the brand.
Forbidden Fruit
St. Julian Winery and Distillery asked CF Napa to design their new hard cider that is crafted utilizing Michigan apples from farm to glass. The name evoked a sense of mystery and an intrinsic naughtiness. The brand needed to feel craft and authentic. Our solution combines the classic symbol of the Garden of Eden's apple in a die cut with the serpent.
Kelleher Family Vineyards
Kelleher Family Vineyards is situated along Highway 29 in the famous Oakville Appellation in the heart of the Napa Valley.

The solution is a mono weight line that forms the letter K capturing a contemporary, yet timeless expression for the brand.
Exitus Bourbon Barrel Aged Wine
Bold and unconventional, Exitus is a red wine aged in Bourbon barrels. The design elicits a sense of luxury as well as a bit of a bad boy attitude through the use of a black label with gold foil embellishments inspired by tattoo culture. The final touch was a strip seal over the top of the closure of the bottle that calls out the 3-month age statement.
