Vellum

California Cabernet and Petit Verdot blends with critical recognition.

Vellum produces wines rooted in California's Cabernet tradition. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal that thrives in the state's sun-drenched vineyards and defines its red wine identity. Black, a Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, represents the winery's approach to structured, age-worthy reds. Both Black and the straight Cabernet Sauvignon have earned recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter, reflecting their technical merit and balance. The wines demonstrate the depth and tannin architecture that California Cabernet-based bottlings can achieve, with Black showing particular complexity from its Petit Verdot component—a grape that adds textural grip and dark fruit intensity to blends.
