OVERVIEW
Producer Story
MaryAnn caught the wine bug in her study abroad program in the Loire Valley and inspired her move to Napa after graduating from Harvard Business School. When Mike Moone invited her to join Beringer Estates in 1989, it was a dream come true.
Over the next few decades, MaryAnn’s bold vision and belief that the “best of the best” fruit is at a wine’s core, resulted in some of California’s most iconic wines including Beringer’s Bancroft Ranch Merlots and the 1991 Private Reserve Chardonnay.
Fast forward to 2006 and the creation of Moone-Tsai, where MaryAnn and husband Larry have set their sights on earning a fourth #1 Wine in the World rating. They’re well on their way!
Geography
It’s the quality and reputation of Napa Valley wine that inspire crowds of tourists to visit Napa Valley wineries dotting Highway 29, nestled between the Mayacamas mountain range to the west and the Vaca Range to the east.
Despite its limited acreage, Napa Valley is a diverse growing region with many microclimates and varied soil types. Over the 30 miles from the cool San Francisco Bay north through Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena and Calistoga, the average temperature can increase 10 percent. So cool-weather varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive in Carneros, at the southern end of the region; warm-weather grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc fare better in the north.
