Critical Acclaim

95 Points

"I am aware of all the arguments that major celebrities lending their names to wines is generally a formula for mediocrity, but that is not the case with Yao Ming. These are high class wines. The Cabernets are actually brilliant, and the Reserve bottling ranks alongside just about anything made in Napa."

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

97 points

"The former basketball star’s initial release immediately establishes itself among the elite Cabernets of Napa Valley. Made from mountain vineyards on Atlas Peak and benches in the Rutherford appellation, it combines intensity with elegance. This is one of those wines that is softly decadent from start to finish."

Wine Enthusiast

95 points

"[The Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon] is an extremely focused and refined cabernet from Napa showing wonderful tension, focus and precision. Full body, deep fruit and length. The greatest wine ever from here. Slam dunk! Drink or hold."

Yao Ming Wines

Our Story

Yao Ming, global humanitarian and NBA Hall of Famer, founded Yao Family Wines in Napa Valley with a vision to create premium, handcrafted wines that bring family and friends together.

Inspired by dinners with Rockets teammate Dikembe Mutombo, Yao became a true wine aficionado and began learning about the artisan nature of winemaking. "A shared bottle of wine reminds me of Chinese meals at home. In the US, each person chooses their own meal, so the wine is what brings people together. It is shared and brings a common element to the meal.”

Since our founding in 2011, Yao Family Wines has earned acclaim from leading wine critics for its exceptional quality. Immerse yourself in Yao Ming's legacy and savor the exceptional wines born from a family’s passion and craftsmanship.
