About

In 1992 and after decades of developing and maintaining some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley, Jim Barbour decided it was time to make his own wine. He chose a vineyard just south of St. Helena to cultivate his grapes and produced his first vintage in 1995.

Jim was raised in Napa Valley on his family's ranch in Rutherford growing grapes, prunes and apples. He remembers Napa then as a secluded place where he rode his bike on Highway 29. When the wine industry kicked into gear, he convinced his Dad to take a risk and plant 5 acres of Chardonnay. Eventually, the Chardonnay became more profitable than the rest of the family's business and Jim discovered his true calling. He graduated from the University of California-Davis with a Bachelor's Degree in Plant Science (viticulture) and began a career that would lead him to become one of Napa's most sought-after vineyard managers.
