Ramspury Winery is located on the Otton Vineyards at 3100 Old Sonoma Rd in the romantic Napa Valley. Napa, California.

Otton Vineyards makes award-winning wine. We are passionate about our wine and is dedicated to producing wines that are true to the terroir of our vineyards. The very high quality and distinct taste of our wines, are the most beautiful expressions of Ramspur Winery.

My family and I moved to Napa County in April 2004 after many years in Marin County. Our new property had a quarter of an acre of Merlot grapes being tended to by two men who became friends and mentors. I started working with them and learned about the vineyard and basic wine making. We had fun growing our grapes and making our own wine.

I thought it would be an interesting experiment in 2008 to ask someone who was not a friend, to taste and judge my wine. When talking with the folks at Napa Fermentation, they suggested I send my wines off to the Orange County Fair to be judged by a panel of professionals. I am proud to say I won a silver medal for both my 2006 blend and my 2006 Merlot under the “Home Wine Makers” category.

Permits and licenses were applied for and received just in the nick of time to be able to sell my 2008 harvest. After harvest I contacted my neighbor, LeRoy Young from Young Ridge Winery, and purchased some of his blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. I also purchased Merlot grapes from Herrick Grand III Vineyards. With Mark’s tutelage, we kept a barrel of our “Estate” Merlot and carefully combined some of my Merlot with the Cabernet blend. In both cases we have created fine wines in a limited amount.
