Collection: Barnett Vineyards

Barnett Vineyards is a family-owned winery located at the very top of Spring Mountain, at its peak of 2,050 feet, well above the inversion layer of fog that blankets the Napa Valley floor below. Napa Valley was fallen in love with by Fiona and Hal Barnett, who grew up in Vancouver and Stockton respectively, during weekend visits in the early 1980s. Motivated by a shared vision, a rugged 40-acre parcel was acquired by them in 1983. The land was covered in trees, rocks, shrubs, and even rattlesnakes. After months of clearing, grading, and terracing the steep slopes, the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted in 1984. From the beginning, the goal was to produce small amounts of handcrafted wine that reflect the unique character of high-elevation viticulture. Today, Barnett Vineyards remains focused on estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with around 8,000 cases produced annually. Daily operations continue to be overseen by Fiona and Hal, and their original vision of mountain-grown excellence continues to be stayed true to.
