Posted by sleepboy, October 3, 2016

Following up on his sold out Au Jus, Triumph, and Anonymous collaborations with the 1849 Wine, SABER (interviewed) recently released another bottle he designed for the wine company. Iris is of a 2013 vintage, a pinot noir “rich with dark cherry aromas accented with notes of violets and spice, supported by toast and the faint smoke from the barrel.” The label features imagery taken from the graffiti artist’s Tool of Dissent painting, a burst of colors created in his distinctive urban calligraphy.

When AM visited James Jeanâ€™s “Kindling” show at Jonathan Levine (here), the gallery served up some delicious wine with some of JJ’s artwork on it.

So, continuing with our coverage of artist & vineyard collaborations (here) that entertain the eyes […]

Kenwood Vineyards’ Shepard Fairey wine

For the 30th installment of their artist series, Kenwood has collaborated with Shepard Fairey […]
