Editorial profile
Lambert Bridge Winery sits in the center of Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, on land that was once part of the C.L. Lambert Ranch; the winery was established in 1975, one of the oldest in the valley since Prohibition. The Chambers family bought Lambert Bridge in 1993 and, from 2004, rebuilt the program around a much smaller production of estate and grower-designate wines, sorting fruit berry by berry and aging exclusively in French oak.
The portfolio centers on Bordeaux reds (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and the Merlot-led Crane Creek Cuvée), plus Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, and a Chardonnay program. lambertbridge.com's live site returns a bot-detection challenge to automated requests, so this profile and the wines below are drawn from Internet Archive captures of the producer's own site (roughly 2006-2012).
