Art and Wine

Written By Judy Doherty

When Cynthian Vineyards asked us to create a flavor-driven still life for their Sauvignon Blanc, we were all in. We dove into their vision—exploring the wine’s bright aromatics, crisp acidity, and layered flavor notes—then translated it all through research, sketching, and creative direction.
On shoot day, everything came to life in the studio. Shape, color, and texture came together as we collaborated closely with their team to refine every detail.
Designed as a sweeping landscape, this piece invites you to scroll through the composition and experience the flavor visually. Now, the only thing left to do? Grab a bottle and enjoy this vibrant, citrusy beauty.

Final image - art, wine, and taste.
