Vintner Barry Waitte founded Tamber Bey Vineyards in 1999, when he purchased a 60-acre vineyard in the Yountville Appellation, and an 11-acre property in the renowned Oakville Appellation. In 2012, Waitte purchased the 22-acre Sundance Ranch in Calistoga, and converted the covered riding arena into a 60,000 gallon wine making facility. Today, Tamber Bey’s portfolio of wines are made under the leadership of winemaker Andy Jones with founding winemaker Brown as consulting winemaker. The wines are made from Waitte’s estate-grown fruit from the Yountville and Oakville AVA's, and from grapes carefully sourced from select vineyards in Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties. 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, Lizzy's Vineyard, Oakville 2017 Chardonnay, Sans Chene, Yountville Flavors of green apple and starfruit give way to a refreshing, yet long Fresh flavors of golden delicious apple, guava, mango and pear lasting mouthfeel and texture which is framed by a vibrant acidity. introduce a bright acidity which makes this wine very enjoyable on a hot day. 92 points, Wine Spectator. 2017 Rosé, Fore Vineyard, Red Hills, Lake County 2017 Pinot Noir The mouthfeel has layers of rose petal, cotton candy and A medium-weight and subtle tannin structure with flavors of tart watermelon flesh.
