Typhon Estates isn’t just another name in Napa—it’s a multigenerational legacy rooted in the rugged slopes of Oakville and Atlas Peak.

It emerged in the 2010s as a boutique Napa Valley label from the Bartlett family, channeling decades of regional heritage into focused mountain Cabernet.

Up here, in vineyards carved from boulder-strewn volcanic soils, the Bartlett family has spent decades proving that greatness comes from refusing to take shortcuts. Everything about Typhon is shaped by place: the wild elevation of Atlas Peak, the perfect climate of Oakville, the family’s treasured heritage, and a team whose guiding principle is simple—make the best possible wine.

And then there’s the secret weapon: winemaker Chad Alexander. You might know him from our Dolum releases, but his story runs deep—starting at Hess when he was too young to even taste the wine, followed by years crafting elite Napa Cabs at Robert Craig.

Typhon is his passion project, and it shows.

His fingerprints are all over Lumen 2022: precision, power, and mountain-driven purity that only a winemaker with his résumé could pull off. It unleashes a deep rush of blackberry and blueberry wrapped in savory forest floor and a whisper of licorice. True to Howell Mountain, it flexes serious structure—bold, muscular, and confidently built.
