About the Wine
The second release of Corrections is a 2021 Napa Valley Reserve Red Wine. Inspired by our flagship Red Blend, our winemaking team has blended a selection of the vintage’s best parcels for an elevated expression. The fruit was harvested when flavor was bursting with the berry and tannins were in the perfect zone of soft yet structured. The result, a perfectly harmonious embodiment of our winemaking style.
About the Label
A detail of Jesse Krimes’ Apokaluptein: 16389067 is brought to life in a wraparound label. Apokaluptein: 16389067 is a monumental 15 by 40-ft artwork that was created during Krimes’s 70-month sentence and was intricately crafted from 39 prison bedsheets. The title, referencing the Greek origin of 'apocalypse' and Jesse's Federal Bureau of Prisons identification number, explores how media perceptions shape societal values. Krimes transferred images onto bedsheets, providing a mental escape from prison and fostering unexpected connections, and showcases artmaking as an act of resistance and community building.
The choice of linen paper stock in the label design artfully mirrors the appearance and texture of the prison bed sheets that served as Krimes’ canvas. Employing sculptured embossing and debossing techniques, there are wrinkles in the sheets and texture to the joins where Krimes meticulously stitched them together. The deliberate design visually replicates the original work, providing a unique and engaging experience for anyone interacting with the label.
