Napa Valley’s Amulet Estate Introduces ‘AE’ with Inaugural 2021 Vintage Release
St. Helena, Calif. (May 17, 2023) – Napa Valley Cabernet producer and winery, Amulet Estate, announces new companion label ‘AE’ with the release of the 2021 Amulet Estate ‘AE’ Cabernet Sauvignon (SRP $85). Grown in partnership with famed wine growers, the Bettinelli family, ‘AE’ is a collection of wines celebrating Napa Valley, one of the most famous wine growing regions in the world, intentionally produced and priced to remain under $100 a bottle.
“We’re thrilled to introduce ‘AE’ with this elegant Cabernet,” said Nathaniel Dorn, partner in Amulet Estate. “Napa Valley would not be the same without these legendary growers, their contributions to the Valley are endless—together, we wanted to make a quality, single-vineyard Cabernet that was accessible to a wide range of consumers. After spending the majority of my career in hospitality, it was important for us to craft a wine that could support our friends throughout the industry, be served ‘by the glass’ at restaurants across the country, and offer an exciting introduction to Napa Valley Cabernet and Amulet’s portfolio of wines.”
The 2021 ‘AE’ Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced exclusively from a single vineyard site in Yountville AVA, and farmed by the Bettinellis, a multi-generational farming family. The inaugural vintage was crafted using traditional farming techniques with minimal intervention that allow the wine to bloom, and highlight the gravelly loam, cortina soils, and surrounding terroir—which echoes Amulet Estate winemaker, Shawn Johnson’s, approach in the cellar.
“My family has been farming here in Napa Valley for five generations,” said Giancarlo Bettinelli, owner of Bettinelli Vineyards. “And I hope Napa Valley continues to be on the world’s stage as a leader in growing and producing fine wines, but also wines that can be accessible for everyone to drink, discover and enjoy. I’m thrilled to have a top quality wine like this out in the market—a fine representation of what Napa Valley does best.”
With the inaugural ‘AE’ release, Amulet also produced 2021 ‘AE’ White Wine (SRP $85), a field blend of sauvignon vert and semillon, sourced from the Proof vineyard, one of the oldest vineyards in Napa Valley planted in the 1870s.

Reviews for "Discovering the Secrets of Schiller Woods' Enchanted Water Pump"
1. John Smith - 2/5 stars
I was really disappointed with the Schiller Woods magic water pump. The pump itself was not very impressive and did not produce the magical effect that I was hoping for. The water flow was weak and the colors were not very vibrant. I expected something more enchanting for the price I paid. Overall, I would not recommend this magic water pump to others looking for a truly magical experience.
2. Lisa Johnson - 1/5 stars
I regret purchasing the Schiller Woods magic water pump. It was a complete waste of money. The pump stopped working after just a few uses and when I contacted customer service for a replacement or refund, they were unhelpful and unresponsive. The quality and durability of the product and the lack of customer support were extremely disappointing. Save your money and look for a better magic water pump elsewhere.
3. Michael Thompson - 2/5 stars
I had high expectations for the Schiller Woods magic water pump, but unfortunately, it fell short. The pump was not easy to set up and required a lot of troubleshooting before it began working properly. Even then, the magic elements were underwhelming and did not create the mesmerizing effect I was hoping for. The pump also seemed flimsy and not very durable. Overall, I was disappointed with this purchase.
