Vicarious

by modus operandi cellars

Vicarious wines serve as a high-impact, crowd-pleasing introduction to our brand, designed to captivate and delight. They provide an accessible entry point, inviting consumers to experience the excellence of Modus Operandi Cellars through Vicarious.

Our goal is for these wines to inspire a journey, leading to an exploration of our more coveted Modus selections. Vicarious by Modus Operandi Cellars is a testament to our commitment to maintaining the exclusivity of our more coveted Modus offerings.

By keeping our Modus production extremely limited, we channel the additional gallons into crafting the Vicarious wines. This approach ensures that the quality delivered in each bottle of Vicarious is exceptional, offering an unparalleled value for the price.

Modus focuses on tiny productions of single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Experimental lot wines, more aggressive winemaking, from famed vineyards in Napa and Sonoma.

Vicarious wines are slightly larger productions of wines created using portions of Modus wines as well as a collection of wines from non Modus vineyards in an effort to provide an affordable way to begin your journey with the Modus Operandi brand.
