Shawn Johnson crafts some beautiful wines for Amulet.

Amulet Estate

May 24, 2024

One of the exciting properties in Napa, Amulet Estate relies on the winemaking talent of Shawn Johnson who studied under eminent winemaker Phillipe Melka. The estate is a 20 acre property tucked into the hills of northern Napa Valley in what historically was known as Dego Valley (now Italian Valley). I formerly recall the Dancing Hare wines that were produced here. The former owner, Robert Brooks, spent many years in the software industry.  Brooks built the winery and cave which was completed in 2009.

The new white wine is fabulous coming from the 2021 vintage. The 2021 Amulet White Wine (OB, 94) is rich and delicious right now. Refined in its silky texture and showing a great sense of weight, this is beautiful Sauvignon Blanc wine that has some good cellaring potential. Learn more at amuletestate.com  and here is my review of the new Amulet White Wine.

2021 Amulet Estate White Wine- The 2021 Amulet Estate White Wine is a stunning bottling coming from the Proof Vineyard in the Napa Valley which was planted in the 1870s. This is brilliant, finesse-driven Sauvignon Blanc that is deeply textured, honeyed and rich. Banana and honeycomb flavors combine with macadamia nut and salty soils on the palate. A world-class bottling, enjoy now and over the next ten plus years to come. Drink 2024-2034- 94
