Additional Brands Owned While the Chateau Julien portfolio of wines focuses primarily on the local Monterey County appellation, the Wine Estate's Emerald Bay and Hawk House labels give Winemaker  Bill Anderson the flexibility to extend beyond the local region and throughout California for vineyard sources.  These additional brands are value-oriented, fruit friendly wines that highlight the Wine Estate's continued focus on sustainability.
