ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: The only Napa white is the outstanding 2007 Chardonnay Gamble Ranch. Sbragia has long demonstrated a Midas touch with Chardonnay, and this is a beauty. Aged 8 months in 100% new French oak, it reveals a subtle note of hazelnuts intermixed with orange marmalade, lemon oil, and poached pears in a full-bodied, pure, ripe style that is both powerful and elegant. Despite the 100% new oak, the wood influence is very subtle.
WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: This massive, explosive Chardonnay is marked by extremely ripe pineapple, pear and peach fruit, accented with lots of sweet, caramelized oak. It’s a potent, high alcohol wine whose buttered popcorn flavors are complex by crisp acidity and minerals. A bit obvious, but a fine example of its style.
WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Remarkably complex and layered, full-bodied, elegant and polished, with tiers of nectarine, peach, melon and light toasty oak. Offers a broad range of flavors while remaining delicate, ending with a clean finish. Drink now through 2014.
“The 2007 Gamble Ranch Chardonnay is a rich, luscious wine from the first aromas of butterscotch, citrus zest, golden delicious apple and sweet vanilla. Its ripe fruit and citrus flavors are layered with hints of baking spices and stone fruit, ending with a layered, supple finish. Its opulent flavors and balanced acidity make it a great match for rich dishes such as shrimp sautéed in garlic and butter. You can frequently find me enjoying that combination on the patio at the winery during the warm summer evenings!” -Ed Sbragia
