Brion Wise is a true original — a chemical engineer turned oil wildcatter who ultimately found his life's work in the soil of Napa and Sonoma. With a relentless pursuit of quality and a belief in starting from the ground up, Brion has built a legacy of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons that reflect the soul of the land they come from. From developing BRION on Moon Mountain to recently acquiring a coveted parcel on Pritchard Hill, Brion has always pursued finesse, character, and site expression over raw power. His journey spans industries and continents, from oil rigs to global dining rooms, but it all converges in his dedication to crafting wines of texture, detail, and elegance. What sets Brion apart is not just the wine, but the philosophy behind it. He treats vineyards like collaborators — unique, expressive, and worthy of meticulous attention. Working with top winemakers like Julien Fayard, Brion has created wines that are both technical and soulful, rooted in craftsmanship and freedom. Whether restoring a 19th-century barn into a gravity-flow winery or launching ventures like Constable Whiskey and Wise Caldwell Spirits, Brion’s vision continues to expand. Through every bottle, his legacy whispers of passion, persistence, and a belief that true quality starts at the roots.
