Elevated Excellence
In 2014, Tom Gamble purchased this 34-acre property with 20 acres of vineyard, some planted as early as the 1970s. Named after Tom’s mother Mary Ann McGuire, the vineyard reflects her refined elegance and steadfast resolve in the face of challenging conditions. The climate on Mount Veeder is cooler than Napa Valley’s floor due to its elevation. The area experiences significant temperature swing between day and night, preserving acidity in the grapes.
