We produce a handcrafted Bordeaux style wine blending Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. We grow these Bordeaux varietals in our vineyard for our wine blend. This is an old world approach to winemaking allowing the wine to reflect the changes that occur naturally in nature. Each year, while our wine style remains the same, you will be able to discern subtle nuances that are the result of farming and weather variations.

The soil, alluvial with rocks, and a climate of warm days and cool nights, produce an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced fruit character, gentle but well-structured tannins and a silky texture. Our wine goes into the bottle with the kind of balance and structured tannins that make it drinkable on release, and for many years as it gracefully ages.

Tasting Notes:
The beautiful wines from this lovingly cared for vineyard never fail to surprise and delight. Each vintage has the same strong character and finesse, but the individual components come together in delightfully different ways.

In the 2018, the dark fruit we find is less black cherry, more plum, boysenberry and currant. There are still cherries, but they are enveloped in buttery piecrust with a hint of clove. The meatiness one finds in a classic Barn Burner is present and accounted for, but it is more beef tartare than the pork charcuterie we have found in past vintages.

This very full and generous red with notes of black tea, olive and Balinese Long Pepper just screams for a steak. Lovely all on its own, it would enjoy the company of a fine meal even more. The nice, firm tannins will, as always ensure longevity, but we dare you to be able to leave it in the cellar for long! – John & Tracy Wood Anderson

Tasting Notes:
The 2017 Barn Burner is sleek and sophisticated, yet powerful. It is a wine so well built that it exudes confidence. Fruity aromas of blackberries, black cherry, cassis and plum are joined by kiwi. The fruit sits between layers of smoked meat, leather, black olives and a whisper of buttered popcorn.

When sipping this particularly well balance and integrated wine, you might want to pick out the black fruit, herbs de Provence, cedar and creamy cocoa found in the palate, but it is best to just sit back and enjoy the beauty and depth. It is simply a delicious wine. The star anise, dark Turbinado sugar and, wait for it…Balinese Long Pepper blend seamlessly with the rich, dark fruit. There is a maturity of character and a brightness that promises a strong future but, you don’t have to wait – it is wonderful right now. - Tracy Wood Anderson

Tasting Notes:
The 2016 Barn Burner is a rare and extraordinary wine. Perfectly constructed, its great depth is balanced by an alluring brightness making it a pleasure to drink.

The rich nose draws you in with aromas of ripe blackberries freshly picked in the warm summer sun along with Fraises des Bois and dark cherries. Scents of prosciutto, olives and Herbs de Provence join the fruit while the bouquet of violets and hardwood maple add to its complexity.

The palate certainly lives up to the promise. The fruit of blackberry, cherry and little French strawberries are all there, joined by big fat blueberries. The olives have been transformed into tapenade sprinkled with Herbs de Provence and Tellicherry black pepper while a touch of tea rose rounds out this lovely, integrated wine.

The 2016 Barn Burner is more than rewarding now and will be a treasure to cellar. – Tracy Wood Anderson

Tasting Notes:
Wow! Sipping this wine is like being invited to a five-course dinner. You are seated on velvet cushions and there are fresh roses on the table - fully open and releasing their fragrance as you dine. The rich bouquet of perfectly ripe plums and mixed berries is your first course. Next, they have brought a charcuterie plate with tapenade and fresh fennel to the table and sprinkled it with some freshly ground Balinese Long Pepper.

You enjoy the aroma of this second course as you lift your glass for your first taste. Everything you have experienced in your first and second course is there in the palate, but wait! Your third course is the creamy mouth feel of beautifully marbled beef presented on cedar. Just when you think it can't get any better than that, the fourth course magically appears before you; a crisp buttery pastry filled with fresh black fruit preserves. The fifth and final course is just a little mango sorbet to give a lift to the end of your Michelin worthy adventure. Each "course" flows seamlessly in this well integrated wine. it is so much more than a beverage; it is an experience. - Tracy Wood Anderson

Tasting Notes:
Tom Scott Vineyard has grown yet another gorgeous wine. The 2014 Barn Burner is an elegant, plushy mouthful of rich plum, mixed berries and black cherries. In the nose, you will find Barn Burner's signature Balinese Long Pepper accompanied by dark chocolate, coffee, a touch of citrus and cured black olives, The full palate of black fruit with a hint of licorice and cedar brings to mind a charcuterie plate garnished with rose petals and violets, ending with a dessert of blueberry tart accompanied by coffee and chocolate truffles. 

The partnership of winemaker Bill Ballentine and Tom Scott Vineyard is a match made in heaven that has been bottled for us all to savor. - Tracy Wood Anderson
