About the Winery:
Louis M. Martini chose Napa Valley for a single, simple reason, its unmatched grape quality. Over the decades, the Martini family pushed the art and science of grape growing and winemaking into uncharted territories, making wines that not only defined Napa, but set a standard for quality and age-ability that has since become synonymous with the region.

About the Wine:
The gryphon is the traditional symbol of the town of Genoa, Italy, the birthplace of Louis Martini and where he set sail from the port in 1899 at the young age of 12 to join his father in America. Today, The Gryphon represents the journey Louis M. Martini embarked on to the Napa Valley, where his family would become established Cabernet Sauvignon icons. The three sections of the gryphon’s tail represent the three generations of Martinis who have built the legacy of the brand over the past 90+ years: Louis M., Louis P., and Mike.

The Gryphon is six years in the making. It is the first glimpse of Louis M. Martini’s evolution; a return to the classic Napa Cabernet of the 1960s and 1970s, with varietal character, energy and liveliness. A wine that has been designed for the table.

Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - Vinous Media:
"The Cabernet Sauvignon The Gryphon is a new wine from Louis M. Martini. Intended as more of an entry-level offering, it offers fine quality and value for Napa Valley. The Gryphon is a blend from several top sites. Dark red cherry, plum, gravel, spice and rose petal open with air. Pretty savory and mineral accents punctuate the finish. This is very nicely done." - Antonio Galloni (Dec 2024)
