The family vineyards are my father's legacy and I get so much joy from crafting wines from our Home Ranch. I love the opulence of this wine, and the sun-kissed flavors of Sonoma County that it evokes. The 2009 Chardonnay has aromas of stone fruit, honeysuckle and a hint of ... more

I love big, rich Chardonnay, and again Gamble Ranch delivers such depth of flavor with the 2009 vintage. Ripe flavors of pear, lemon curd and red delicious apple are accented by notes of hazelnut, vanilla and banana cream pie. Its rich, unctuous flavors are complemented by a lush mouthfeel and ... more

Owned by Betty O'Shaughnessy, this vineyard is located at the very top of Howell Mountain and is named after the red bear that climbs the deer fence and swims in the reservoir. I love the big fruit flavors and unmistakable intensity of Howell Mountain fruit. This wine leaps from the ... more

The Home Ranch Merlot is made the way my Dad taught me - keep the barrels clean and topped, and the wine will take care of itself. The 2009 Home Ranch Merlot is brimming with red and black fruit flavors of rhubarb, black plum and dusty cocoa. A hint of ... more

One sip of this wine and you know you're in mountain territory. Bold Cabernet flavors of black cherry, wild blueberry and blackberry fill the mouth, and there's a minerality in the background that reflects the mineral red soils of the Monte Rosso site and brings structure to the
wine. The ... more

It's no secret that I love mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and year after year the fruit from Mt. Veeder's Wall Vineyard justifies my passion. There's an intensity and concentration to the grapes that practically jumps out of the crusher, and with careful handling this intensity
translates to a wine of enormous ... more

Like Gino's Zinfandel this wine is also a tribute to my father, but its flavor characteristics are quite different from Gino's. The 2009 La Promessa is full of bright red flavors of raspberry, pomegranate and rhubarb pie. Aromas of tobacco, sweet brown spices and earthy
notes are accented by a ... more

Sbragia's 2010 Chardonnay Gamble Ranch is beautifully bright, focused and layered. Smoke, honey, anise and ripe pears are all woven together nicely. Even with full malolactic fermentation, the 2010 is bursting with tension and energy. This is a great showing from Ed Sbragia. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. more

An implosive deep wine, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard boasts considerable energy, but here there is more than enough fruit to nearly cover the Howell Mountain tannins. Sweet red berries, freshly cut flowers, mocha, chocolate and sweet spices all come to life in a wine that is surprisingly polished, ... more
