Four Reasons Why You Have to Try This Wine

 

1) Critically acclaimed:

"The best wine in California." - Ralph Sands, International Wine Expert, K&L Wine Merchants

"Brilliant wines." - Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate

"As fine as Napa gets." - Steve Heimoff, The Wine Enthusiast

2) Heidi Barrett, Winemaker - You've probably heard of "celebrity" winemaker, Heidi Barrett. If not, you almost certainly have heard of the cult Napa Cabernet she crafted in the 90's, "Screaming Eagle." Garnering multiple perfect 100 point scores from Robert Parker, a bottle of this wine can cost thousands of dollars. Heidi is one of the most sought after winemakers in the world because she is a master at her craft. 

We are proud that Heidi Barrett has been making our estate grown wines since 1997.

3) Howell Mountain, Napa Valley - The first sub-appellation in Napa Valley (of which there are now 16), the Howell Mountain growing region begins at 1,400 feet; our vineyard is situated at 2,200. When the fog rolls off the ocean and into the Napa Valley, the weather on Howell Mountain is generally sunny and cool. The appellation owes its distinctive climate to the fact that it is positioned well above the valley floor. Because of its altitude, generally, evening temperatures are warmer and daytime temperatures are much cooler—leveling out spikes in heat that tend to be more exaggerated at lower elevations. Although it gets nearly twice as much rainfall as the valley below, the soil tends to be dry, because rocky, porous soil conditions allow for adequate drainage and less accumulation. Seasonally, cooler spring temperatures cause buds to break later than average, and warm summer nights produce fruit that demonstrates a great balance between acidity and sugar. 

All of which translates into a rich diversity of complexity and flavor in your glass unlike anywhere else in Napa Valley.

4) Estate Grown Fruit, Family Operated Business - We planted our vineyard in 1979, with our first commercial release in 1982. From the very beginning we have been doing all of the work in the vineyard ourselves. From leaf-pulling and canopy management, to organic composting and fruit-thinning, we grow our own (organic) grapes; the only grapes that go into your bottle of Lamborn. When you buy from Lamborn you are buying directly from a family, not a corporation.

Four generations of Lamborns have been walking our vine rows with complete quality control from top to bottom.
