Cedar + Salmon, the Pacific Northwest winery dedicated to honoring the region’s unique spirit, today announced the debut of a significant brand refresh and reimagined vibrant packaging. The 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, with an SRP of $25/750ML, will be the first wine to be released this summer with the newly designed labels, followed up by the 2024 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris in the coming year.   

“The new Cedar + Salmon brand packaging embraces the unique terroir of the Pacific Northwest with a more impactful shelf presence designed to resonate with consumers,” said August Sebastiani, 3 Badge Beverage Corporation president and fourth-generation winemaker. “This brand refresh reflects the brand’s grounded ethos, rooted in such a powerful sense of place, and we are excited to show off this new package to Cedar + Salmon’s customers.

Artistic in tone, the new labels showcase abstract images of cedar on a bright and open canvas, evoking a clean and sophisticated Pacific Northwest wine identity. The brand mark had been refreshed to accomplish a striking, modern design, accented with the addition of foil. Cedar + Salmon’s signature screwcap closures will remain intact for ease of enjoyment.

With the classic savory complexity so typical of the region, the 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir balances earthy undertones with fresh blackberry, juicy plum, and red cherry, accented by a dash of herbs. A drying, dark-fruited finish rounds out this easy-drinking Pacific Northwest red.

Produced and distributed by Sebastiani’s 3 Badge Beverage Corporation, Cedar + Salmon wines are available nationally. For more information about Cedar + Salmon or to purchase, please visit cedarandsalmonwines.com

Bombay Sapphire Gin has helped create the refreshing Sparkling Lemon. An effervescent mix of gin and sparkling lemonade over ice, this refreshing combo makes the perfect summer lemon spritz and is an ideal sip for picnics, parties, and other outdoor activities this season.

It is simple, consisting of two-ingredients, and has a delightfully chic lemon sparkle that makes it an instant classic. The cocktail has also proven to be a rising superstar with A-Listers like Madelyn Cline recently spotted sipping the drink in West Hollywood hotspot, Great White (pics below) and top bars from around the country placing it on their menus like like Public Records NYC, MONEYGUN Chicago, and Moncdray San Francisco.
