Cardinale crafts a single Cabernet Sauvignon from each vintage. Revel Custom Wine Cellars installed a new 670 bottle cellar that is prominently featured at the winery.
When Cardinale began thinking about building a space to house its library wines, it first consulted with its collectors.
“From the beginning, our collectors were telling us about a new company whose designs showcased the wine instead of hiding it,” said Erik Ackerman, Estate Director at Cardinale. “When we saw Revel’s system we were impressed by its design and performance. It was efficient, but also striking; we knew our collectors would be impressed.”
The new 670 bottle cellar features a row of 15 degree angled trophy drawers that allows both oversized and standard bottles to be displayed side-by-side in the same pullout tray thanks to the patented geometry of the dowel system at the heart of every Revel cellar.
The drawers overhead allow a view of the bottle labels above by orienting them label down. An architectural statement to the cellar is Revel’s patented wine wheel that showcases prized bottles and maximizes corner space.
The design creates a tower that displays wine on rotating trays that appear to float in mid-air with each wheel cradling up to 18 bottles.
