Our approach to farming is both regenerative and deeply personal. We have made it our mission to move away from synthetic inputs and towards farming with organic practices and fertilizers. Today, weed management is achieved through sheep grazing, shoveling, and low impact tractor mowing. Each year, we straw steep areas in the vineyard for erosion protection. We use our natural water sources with restraint and care, and are a proud Fish Friendly Farming certified estate. These aren’t trends — they are long-term decisions made in service of the land.

These efforts are led by Jim Barbour, whose five decades of vineyard management in the Napa Valley ensure that each individual block of our estate receives unwavering attention, down to the individual vine. Jim and his team’s commitment to clean viticulture is complemented by our winemaking team’s belief that stellar fruit can be blended into a world-class wine with minimal intervention.
