About Ram's Gate Winery
Ram's Gate Winery is the most architecturally contemporary-luxury-lifestyle and Howard-Backen-designed Carneros gateway appointment in Sonoma County. Jeff O'Neill — whose founding vision for the Arnold Drive Carneros estate combined the most architecturally contemporary-hospitality-designed luxury wine estate building available with a culinary program and the most Carneros-gateway-location-prominently-positioned appointment on the highway between San Francisco and the Sonoma wine country — commissioned Howard Backen (Napa Valley's most celebrated luxury winery architect) to design a statement building as architecturally contemporary-hospitality-complete as any luxury winery constructed in California wine country.
The Ram's Gate building — with its clean contemporary lines, natural material palette, indoor-outdoor living areas, contemporary art collection, and culinary kitchen — provides the most comprehensively modern-luxury-lifestyle and architecturally Howard-Backen-designed Carneros wine estate hospitality environment. The location at the Carneros gateway on Arnold Drive makes Ram's Gate the first luxury wine destination many visitors encounter when approaching Sonoma wine country from San Francisco.
The estate wine program produces Carneros and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from carefully farmed cool-maritime estate sources with Wine Advocate recognition at 91–95 points for the individual maritime character and personally luxury-lifestyle-Howard-Backen-architecturally-contemporary quality that the most comprehensively modern-lifestyle-complete Carneros gateway appointment delivers.
