Olabisi is a boutique Napa winery focused on creating limited quantities of unique and flavorful wines from rare and exquisite California vineyards. These are vineyard designate wines, fermented naturally with wild yeast and minimal intervention. Our current offerings include Syrah, Petite Sirah, Old Vine Zinfandel, and Chardonnay. The wines are available at select restaurants and through our tasting room in Napa, California.
we have focused on crafting unique vineyard-designate wines using traditional old world techniques. The name Olabisi comes from the African girls name meaning "joy multiplied"—a sentiment that still resonates with us each time we pull the cork on one of our wines. It is wine, after all. Winemaker Ted Osborne's style is one that promotes natural winemaking practices with minimal intervention in the pursuit of rich and exotic wines that are both balanced and focused. We work with farmers who are passionate about their vineyards. And as these tend to be expressive and sometimes idiosyncratic sites, we prefer to let each wine stand as a distinct and powerful record of each unique growing year. You'll find that while these wines are wonderfully flavorful upon release, they do age quite well in the cellar, continuing to evolve, and offering entirely new revelations of the more subtle and finessed qualities not readily apparent in their youth. Our entire production is not more than 1,200 cases per year, and not more than 330 cases of any one wine. Working in small lots, often from tiny 1-acre parcels, allows us intimate knowledge of each vineyard and barrel. The wines are available through our mailing list, at fine restaurants across the U.S., and at our tasting room in downtown Napa.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
