ELLMAN is a family legacy project guided by intention, heritage, and detail. Together, as brothers and proprietors, we have shaped a personal, 20-acre estate rooted in three generations of vision and a shared belief that great wine begins in the vineyard but lives through the people who have a hand in its creation and enjoyment. Since 2015, we’ve collaborated with renowned winemaker and friend Andy Erickson, known for his work with Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, and Harlan Estate. Together, we’ve built a winemaking philosophy grounded in restraint, detail, and the strength of a single site. Every wine is grown, produced, and bottled on our estate, located in the foothills west of Atlas Peak and planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc. Our story is shaped by a global perspective and a deep connection to place. Influenced by our South African roots and grounded in Napa Valley, we bring a thoughtful, personal approach to everything we do. The scale is small by design. The commitment is generational. And the goal is simple: to create something meaningful and share it with care.
“Although I am new to the wine tasting experienced, Michael treated myself and my experienced friend with great respect and took great care of us answering all of our questions and treating us to some delicious wines. I went in with a conservative attitude, not knowing the business as well, but the wines were so good I had to buy two bottles. Thank you, Michael and thank you Justin. Your winery is absolutely beautiful.”
“Ellman exceeded all expectations. We went for my birthday a few days early. Everything was perfect and felt so personalized. The attention to detail was incredible. Justin was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and look forward to going back!”
“Ellman was an excellent find. We joined the club as we enjoyed the Jemma and Estate Red wines. Miguel was an amazing host and was very knowledgeable about the wine and area. We appreciated his advice on other places to visit.”
