2022 Imperial 94 Cabernet Sauvignon | Prince George's County, Maryland

Born in '94. Built for the Bold.

Some wines tell you where they're from. Imperial 94 tells you who made it — and why it matters. Crafted in Prince George's County, Maryland, this limited-production 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship expression of one of the East Coast's most exciting new luxury wine brands, founded by some of the youngest winery owners in the region.

The name says it all: Imperial 94 is a tribute to 1994 — the birth year of founders Brian Kelley, Jamaal Dubose, and Tre Henderson — three visionaries who set out to prove that luxury wine culture has room for new voices, new stories, and new standards.

The Brand: Imperial 94 Wine Co.

Launched in 2022, Imperial 94 Wine Co. is a Maryland-based luxury wine brand with a clear mission: redefine what a wine lifestyle looks like. Lead operator Brian Kelley, alongside partners Jamaal Dubose and Tre Henderson, built Imperial 94 not as a traditional winery, but as a lifestyle brand rooted in wine — one that speaks to a generation that refuses to be boxed in by convention.

Rather than owning vineyards, Imperial 94 sources exclusively from premium Mid-Atlantic vineyards and completes production in Prince George's County — keeping their roots firmly planted in the community that shaped them. The result is a wine that carries the terroir of the region and the ambition of its founders in every bottle.

Perfect Pairings
