First Colony Winery bottling 2007 and 2008 vintages

First Colony Winery, in Charlottesville, Virginia, is gearing up to bottle wines from 2008, as well as older vintages.  As the artist for First Colony, A Guy Studio is preparing new art for press, specifically Claret, Rose and a Special Edition Port wine as well as a new offering -"Zephyr." 

 Zephyr is a light, blush style wine made for pairing with summer foods.  The name, meaning "of the west wind" aptly describes this light, intriguing wine.  

Design wise, First Colony's design equities had to be maintained for brand recognition purposes but these elements were giving a twist, making for a winning, fresh look.
