Sonoma County / Napa Valley, California  

Meet Erik Ekstein, a longtime wine drinker with a sophisticated palate and a dream. One afternoon (over a glass of wine, of course) he began to imagine a wine he could call his own. What started that day as a hazy vision was slowly nurtured - using his knowledge and passion for great wine - into a delicious reality.

Working tirelessly with winemakers and vineyard owners throughout California, Erik set out to produce a wine based on the ideals of bringing high quality wine that is accessible and affordable to all. After several variations, Ekstein managed to craft a blend of cabernet sauvignon that was full-bodied, ripe and well-structured with dark, supple fruit filled with blackberry and cassis; finishing round and clean, and so Relativity Vineyards was born.

Just as envisioned, the cabernet is perfect company for delightful conversation, but with a structure strong enough to stand up to food. Building on the great success of his cabernet, Ekstein developed a chardonnay which (shortly followed by Quantum, a zinfandel blend). The philosophy of providing the best juice at a reasonable cost - without the typical pretense - continue to drive the Relativity family.
