The EK Art Story

AN ENDURING INSPIRATION

After 10 years of featuring unique artist labels on every wine each vintage, we took an exciting next step in Eric Kent Wine Cellars’ passion for promoting the arts.

Starting with our spring releases in 2015, we are proud to introduce the Eric Kent Permanent Collection of labels on our 10 flagship wines.

You’ll recognize favorites, both old and new, that we’ve featured over the past decade. These 10 special works have now found permanent homes on their kindred wines. We hope you look forward to seeing their familiar "faces" year after year and easily spotting them in the cellar or on the shelf at your local wine shop.

We are equally excited to formally launch our Barrel Climber Series. These small-lot, special bottlings tell different winemaking stories each vintage and will continue to tell unique art stories through the changing art on their labels every year. We look forward to expanding the Barrel Climber series in the years ahead.

And last but not least, we are hard at work on a plan to introduce new artists whose work does not appear on our wines. We’ve discovered so many over the years and always wished we could share them with the entire EK family. We are thrilled to take a larger role in exposing these artists through our website and social media.

I hope you enjoy perusing all the art on our labels and feel inspired to explore the many artist galleries on our website.
