The Label

Heller Estate Label

The label, "Dances on Your Palate", has received acclaim throughout America and Europe. This label was inspired by the 15 foot high, bronze sculpture by Toby Heller, overlooking the vineyards. The label was designed by Toby Heller and Michael Bolton, and received the Jerry Mead Gold Medal Award in the New World International Wine Competition. The motto, "Magical Wines That Dance on Your Palate", was also inspired by this sculpture.

The colorful Chardonnay label has been awarded First Place in the Modern/Abstract Art category of the 2003 Orange County Fair Commercial Wine Label Competition.
