Riverain Gamble Ranch Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Yountville 2021

Laurie and Dean Gray began their Napa story when they bought a beautiful home in Rutherford near the Napa River to welcome friends with whom they could share new experiences and create wonderful memories. Along with their business partner, Steve Nordhoff, they quickly gained an appreciation and working knowledge of what it takes to make consistently great wine. The hook was set as they slipped deeper into the fever of the valley by spending countless hours researching vineyards, subsequently landing impressive fruit contracts with some of the Valley's finest vineyards while also signing Thomas Rivers Brown, a truly gifted craftsman, as their winemaker. After all, he is the man many consider to be the “100-Point King,” and the one behind so many phenomenal wines such as Schrader, Caterwaul, Selah, Maybach, Swagger, Revana, Rivers-Marie, Pulido~Walker, and the list goes on with many more crowd-pleasing wines that hopefully are safely stocked in your cellar. Finding a word to reflect how their lives have evolved over the past decade led the team to a historical French term: RIVERAIN, which means "near the river" and refers to "friendly locals." 

After a 10-year friendship with Tom Gamble of Gamble Family Vineyards, the Riverain team finally convinced Tom to sell some of his highly sought-after fruit. Thomas opted for a combination of oak and stainless steel, and the result is mouth-watering and clean. The wine speaks for itself with a great structure laced with green apple, melon, and lemon pith. This wine is bright, bright, bright and would enhance any summer day!
