In 1989 Our first Viader® Proprietary blend was produced, capturing an ideal balance between two varietals. The Cabernet Franc contributes to the early approachability, elegant structure and violet-like aromatics while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds complexity and character adding backbone structure for long aging potential. This blend has been referred to as “Liquid Cashmere”.
Over the years, our portfolio of wine selections has grown to include a handful of other limited production wines. The Viader® “Black Label” is a unique, innovative blend created by second generation winemaker Alan Viader. The Viader® “V” is a reserve Bordeaux-style blend featuring Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The limited DARE® by Viader® releases are an interpretation of single varietal wines such as Cabernet Franc.

Pioneered by Delia Viader, one of the first female winemakers in the Napa Valley, our Viader® blend put Delia on the map as one of the first in Napa to tackle and successfully showcase Cabernet Franc as a deserving blending companion with Napa’s King, Cabernet Sauvignon.
In our iconic blend, Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone, structure, character and aging potential with succulent fruit and rich tannins, while Cabernet Franc instills a mellowed complementary balance and early approachability to the wine with beautiful aromatics, silky texture and an elegant finesse. Today, our Viader® blend continues our family winemaking legacy in Napa Valley, handcrafted by the mother and son winemaking team of Delia and Alan Viader.

Bold, structured and richly textured, our “Black Label” is a powerhouse cuvée headlined by our top lots of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and refined with the elegance of our signature Cabernet Franc and the soft, supple tannins of our estate Malbec. Their sum creates an age-worthy, statement wine representative of the infinite potential of our unique mountain vineyard.
