The goal of the redesign was to take a holistic look at the wines, establish tiers that were visually identifiable, and premiumize the design to match the pedigree of the brand. It had been 20 years since the packaging was designed for a single SKU, single vineyard wine.
The main equity element of the original packaging was the icon which featured a heart and simplified staff of Hermes as a nod to the brand owner’s tenure as a cardiologist. CF Napa reimagined the icon as a high-end crest inspired by luxury car logos such as Bentley and Aston Martin.
