​

Ridgeline Vineyards, a Brand formerly owned and operated by Artesa Winery in Napa Valley is a boutique winery specializing in Cabernets.

 

The specific terroir and geography of the vineyards became  the focus of  Studio Black's brand development process. Walking the site, to gather background imagery, the designer's took myriad reference photos as the basis for the label illustration.

 

Adjacent to the vineyard site, the designers discovered an old cemetery  structure and headstone which displayed a craftsman's  Mark which the designers incorporated into the  Logotype, which further reflected the Brand's  unique and authentic story evoking a sense of place  and connection with the vineyard site.
