Winemaking is Bob Broman's passion. It's who he is
and what he does, all day, every day. He has made
wine for Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Concannon Vineyards,
St. Supery, Guenoc and has traveled the world doing
international consulting. So, it's no surprise that
after making wine for other folks for 31 years, Bob
would realize his life long dream of making his own
Napa Valley wines, appropriately labeled, Broman Cellars.
The inaugural release wasa beautiful 1994 Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon consisting of an entire 150 cases.
Today, production is just over a whopping 1,000 cases
consisting of small, ultra premium, handcrafted lots
of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Sauvignon
Blanc. The goal of Broman Cellars is to never grow
beyond 7,500 cases… Small enough that Bob can
continue to pay individual attention to the wines.
Together with his wife, Deborah Russell Broman, they
have purchased 11 ½ acres with a home in St.
Helena on Deer Park Road where they intend to build
their winery. In the interim, they are remodeling
the home and are tending to their newly planted Cabernet
vineyard.
Broman
Cellars is a small, family operation located in the
heart of the Napa Valley. Renowned winemaker Bob Broman
creates our small lots of handcrafted wines exclusively
from Napa Valley grapes. We have long term contracts
with several highly acclaimed vineyards. Our Cabernet
comes from Beckstoffer's Dr. Crane Vineyard in St.
Helena and Georges III in Rutherford; and our Sauvignon
Blanc from the Melrose Vineyard in Rutherford. Our
Syrah is harvested from the Page Nord vineyard in
North Napa. We have also just planted a small, two-acre
vineyard in St. Helena on our Deer Park Road property,
which is below the Howell Mountain appellation boundary
on the western facing slope. Take a few minutes to

idea of what Broman Cellars is all about.
