4 California Tier Strong branding in logo lock-up appealing to brand heritage MG bug maintained for familiarity with core consumer Family owned call-out Clear varietal call-outs This label was inspired by vintage barn signs you might find while driving through Alexander Valley. The rich navy blue on cream paper provides a premium look with strong pop on shelf. This retro ‘Americana’ style label appeals to multiple consumer demographics and speaks to the character and history of the winery.

5 Sonoma County Tier Elegant treatments speak to handcrafted elevated tier Gold metallic ink and emboss make logo pop Saturated navy colored paper with premium texture The Sonoma County Tier label utilizes gold metallic inks and embossing on navy paper to signify an elegant, handcrafted, elevated tier wine.
