PR Log - Aug 12, 2011 - Boxed set on sale in September in Spokane and Kirkland tasting rooms

Kirkland, WA. Celebrating the mutual world of fine art and fine wine, Northwest Cellars will introduce its Artist Series collection next month matching six of its award-winning wines with an original image from photographer Richard Duval on each label.

Selected by Northwest Cellars owner Bob Delf, the four reds, one white, and one sparkling -- housed in a custom-built wooden case – go on sale on Sept. 2 at Nectar Tasting Room in Spokane, WA, and Sept. 10 at Northwest Cellars tasting room in Kirkland, WA.

The six label images selected by Delf and Duval feature striking photos from Duval’s extensive photo travels, including two images from his latest wine image exhibit “Art from the Vine.” Duval opens this exhibit on
Sept. 2 at Nectar Tasting Room to coincide with the release of the Artist Series.  He also will be on hand at the official rollout of the Artist Series collection at Northwest Cellars tasting room on Sept. 10 from 1-4 to autograph the boxed set.

The six wines featured in the Artist Series – which retails for $195 – are 2001 Brut,  2009 Adagio, 2007 Cabernet, 2008 Sangiovese, and two soon-to-be released vintages – the 2009 Madrigal, a Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre blend; and the 2007 Intrigue.  Adorned with the select images, the Artist Series is meant as a true collector’s item, as much for the label as for the wine, said Delf.  

“This is a logical next step for us,” said Delf. “We have always admired Rick’s work, and are proud to collaborate with him on this project. Our aim is for the collector to enjoy the wine and admire the label. Future Artist Series releases will offer an equally exciting match between our wines and memorable artistic imagery.”  

Ten Additional Artist Series Images Available for Custom Labels
Ten other images from Duval’s Artist Series also will be available on the Northwest Cellars website for customers who wish to customize a label for their personal wines. Use of an Artist Series image on a custom label is $95 for a onetime setup and licensing fee.  

The winery’s highly-awarded custom blends have earned a loyal following among customers who purchase specially labeled wines for business gifts, non-profit fundraisers, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other special events. Northwest Cellars offers a 10-percent discount with the purchase of a 12-bottle case.

“Our wines are a great way to mark special occasions,” said Delf, “and also make truly personal gifts during the holidays.”
