Meet Linda Neal, owner of the Tierra Roja Vineyard and CEO of Obsession Wine Company, maker of the Tierra Roja Cabernet Sauvignon wine.

After 20 years as a Vineyard Manager and CFO of M & L Vineyard Management, Linda has stepped away from managing vineyards for others and is concentrating full time on her own vineyards and wine.David and Katharine DeSante are truly a wonderful winemaking team. I just fell in love with them and their passion for wine from the beginning. I first met them through Tom Gamble while managing the Gamble vineyard. David was Tom’s winemaker for the Origin Sauvignon Blanc (now known as Source). Nothing was ever left to chance with David. He carefully planned and executed every detail of the winemaking process. It was immediately evident when talking with David that he not only had the knowledge and experience to make great wine, but also listened and respected the needs and realities of the vineyard. I was especially impressed with the way he could take grapes from the same vineyard and create two or more completely different styles of winI love all aspects of working in the vineyard, from pruning to harvest. But I could never do it alone. Meet Robert Baez-Garcia (picture to follow). Roberto worked for me at M&L Vineyard Management for the last 10 years, and now helps me full time between Tierra Roja and Mellowood (my vineyard in the Sierra Foothills). He is extremely skilled in caring for the vines, hard working and I am so grateful for his help.
