Modus Operandi
Modus Operandi produces wines from Napa Valley, the North Coast region renowned for structured Cabernet Sauvignon and refined Bordeaux blends. The winery's Collection Futaie Artistique, a Cabernet Sauvignon, represents the pinnacle of its portfolio and has earned recognition from Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. Antithesis, a blend of Merlot and Petite Sirah, demonstrates the winery's range beyond varietal expression, marrying the plush mid-palate of Merlot with the dark fruit intensity and tannin structure of Petite Sirah. A straightforward Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the core offerings, anchoring the collection in the varietal that defines Napa Valley's reputation. The wines reflect the region's capacity for depth and aging potential, with critical assessment from major publications confirming their quality.
