Description
Just imagine an extraordinary site and an extraordinary vintage. We are fortunate enough to have both in barrel. GALLICA will bottle a Red Wine blend from Oakville Ranch Vineyard. A unique blend of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc will be perfectly cave cellar aged prior to a summer bottling. This Oakville site is meticulously farmed by the iconic Phil Coturri. Tucked away in the eastern Oakville hills, this rocky site is home to prized Bordeaux varieties.

Rosemary Cakebread
Winemaker, Gallica
Rosemary Cakebread has earned a reputation for making wines of grace and balance with remarkable consistency across vintages. A graduate of University of California Davis’ Viticulture and Enology program, she was introduced to Cabernet Sauvignon at the historic Inglenook Vineyards. From early cellar jobs to a winemaking position with Spottswoode Vineyard and Winery, Rosemary has built her career around a love for wine. Her appreciation and interest in aromatics and blending was born from work with sparkling wine at Mumm Napa Valley. Of course, making wine also means logging hours and miles in the vineyard throughout the growing season. Rosemary can often be found where she most enjoys being- outdoors in the home vineyard or amongst the vines on the properties we are fortunate to collaborate with.
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Gallica's inaugural vintage was the celebrated 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. The philosophy is a simple one: to craft elegant single vineyard wines which accurately depict the site and story of each unique vintage. The brand symbol is a tribute to the ancient rose, their aromatics, and enhancement to winemaking. We love what we do and are fortunate to call Napa Valley home.
