Napa Valley, Distinct and Refined
Gamble Estates represents a rare collection of world-class vineyard sites. Each wine is an authentic representation of its appellation shaped by the conditions and character of each vintage. This terroir driven approach to winemaking showcases Tom’s farming expertise and understanding of each estate’s potential.
Oakville
Timeless Character
Two distinct estate vineyard sites produce wine with concentration and structure. Moderate temperatures extend the growing season, leading to increased flavor maturity and softer tannins without losing natural acidity. The vineyards draw from varied soils, elevations, and exposures to create a quintessential Oakville wine.
Rutherford
Rich and Complex
The dramatic hillside plantings culminate with a breathtaking view from the summit. This site is slightly warmer and sunnier than Oakville, creating ideal conditions for rich, full-bodied wines. Well-drained, gravelly soils add complexity and the signature “Rutherford dust” character to our wines.
Mount Veeder
Elevated Excellence
Situated on the westernmost edge of Napa Valley, the vineyard is perched on the north face of Mount Veeder. The rugged, steep slopes together with the diversity of rocky soils produce tiny quantities of intensely flavored grapes resulting in wines with structure and finesse.
Yountville
Heart of Napa Valley
This idyllic vineyard is bound by two rivers, holding cool morning summer mist longer than nearby sites. Sunny afternoons, moderated by gentle afternoon San Pablo Bay breezes, yield a wine that emulates the elegance of white Bordeaux while remaining distinctly Yountville.
Holistic
Whole Farm Approach
We cultivate diverse crops to enhance soil vitality and biodiversity. Designated buffer zones protect the estate’s ecosystem and natural habitats, ensuring harmony. Our heritage olive oil is derived from hundred year-old olive trees, and alongside other fruit trees and vegetables grown on property, captures our commitment to the agricultural legacy of Napa Valley.
Aware
Sustainable Stewardship
The Gamble family’s commitment to environmental advocacy spans multiple generations. Our farming practices align with the principles of California Certified Organic Farmers and the Regenerative Organic Alliance. These values shine through our Napa Green and Fish Friendly Farming certifications, as well as our sustainable winery practices, from eco-conscious packaging to a growing number of renewable energy solutions.
