Gamble Family Vineyards, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley (California) 2014

Jan 7, 2020

By Rich Cook

 You know that a reputable producer is going the extra mile when he names a wine after his mother.  This right bank styled red blend is a fitting tribute, embracing Cabernet Franc’s peppery character as a foil for Merlot’s richness and weight.  It knits the elements together beautifully in a cellar worthy wine that is just starting to show its character thanks to rigid Mount Veeder tannin structure.  Hold for ten years or so, or decant a half day near term and enjoy with your most elegant meals.
