Barlow Becomes Latest Napa Winery to Certify Vineyards Organic

In July Barlow Vineyards qualified for organic certification on its 36 acres of vines in Calistoga, becoming the 83rd Napa winery to have a certified, producing estate vineyard.

The family run winery and vineyard sells grapes to a variety of producers, including Frank Family, Treasury, Sterling, Bennett Lane and now, with organic certification, Heitz. They make about 1,500 cases under their own Barlow label.

The late Warren and Jeanne Smith family bought their property in 1993, moving lock, stock and barrel from southern California after visiting wine country for many years. 

Today their son, Barr Smith and wife Anne run the estate along with the third generation of Smiths.

Other wineries with organic vines in Calistoga include Dutch Henry, Eisele, Perliss, and Storybook.
