Lynch Vineyards Napa, CA 94559
(707) 251 8822 Greetings from Napa Valley's Spring Mountain. Here, in our 5 acres of vineyards set on 18 acres of hilly, stony land 800 feet above St. Helena, we focus on just one thing: making small batches of superb red wine. (We also make a distinctive Chardonnay from grapes grown on our ranch near the Chiles Valley.) I call this a "red" mountain, because nearly any red grape does well here - but some do spectacularly.

Winemaker Gary Galleron
Gary is right at home at Lynch, a small producer with superb vineyards and an unwavering commitment to excellence, growing grapes in what he calls "perfect terroir" that provides the mouth feel and texture he looks for. "In vineyards at this elevation, it just happens," he says humbly. "I don't do anything."
"Whether he's doing "nothing" in allowing great grapes to speak their true flavors or tending to everything he can to create those grapes and turn them into wines of distinction, Gary is clear about where his work stands in his life. "I'm very passionate about it," he says. "It's not just a job. It's my life."

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Appellation: Spring Mountain District
  • Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
  • Winemaker: Gary Galleron
  • Dark red hues and strong cedar-oak aromas with appealing, spicy black-cherry undertones. A pure cassis core on the palate, gaining added complexity from spicy, slightly dusty, but well-integrated oak. This wine shows fine structure, highlighting blackberries and licorice on the mid-palate and a huge concentration of grilled herbs on the velvety rich palate. A rich spicy cedar aftertaste that lingers, offering a pleasantly surprising note of bitter chocolate on the medium, slightly warm finish.
