The Barber
The story of Salvador Renteria spoken in his own words.
Storied Land. Proven Ground.
“A good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist.” Wendell Berry.
Since 1962, the Renteria Family has been sharpening their farming instincts and methods in the endless pursuit of growing the finest wine grapes possible. Never forgetting to protect the land for future generations.
When the Renteria Family secured the deed for the historic Brown Ranch they realized a lifelong dream of vineyard ownership. Completing their winemaking story from farm to bottle.
The Barber
Cabernet Sauvignon
Single Barrel Reserve
Salvador Renteria’s passion for attention to detail inspires this single barrel production. Rigidly sorted clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are hand-picked and fermented in a Taransaud barrel, followed by extended aging of 30 months. This massively structured wine’s concentrated flavors expand and evolve through decanting. This wine will cellar well for 12 or even 20 years.
Familia Members have exclusive access to purchase this limited release wine through fully customizable shipments twice per year.
Desde Luisa
Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
Made in honor of our mother Luisa, the heart of the Renteria family, this wine’s fruit comes from the celebrated Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. This vineyard produces some of Napa Valley’s most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Desde is lushly layered. It shows red & blue fruit, floral aromatics and soft minerality with polished tannins on the palate.
Adonde
Cabernet Franc
Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
Celebrating what comes next, Adonde is a labor of love. This wine is hand-crafted in open top barrel fermenters and aged in 100% new French Oak for 26 months. This produces a rich texture to complement an intense flavor profile of black fruit, roasted espresso and fine Oakville herbs framed by fresh tannins across the palate.

“The Renteria family was in Napa Valley before most of us, and have remained a major contributor to the health and welfare of our vineyards, wine business and community.”

Our Story
Our journey began in 1962, when Salvador Renteria stepped off a bus at a small market in Rutherford, CA. A barber by trade, Salvador sharpened new skills by working in vineyards and went on to found one of the most prominent vineyard management companies in Napa Valley. His company became an indispensable farming force with a tradition that continues generations later.
When the time came to create a treasured collection of wines, Salvador knew it would be his granddaughters, his Tres Perlas, who would be the inspiration.
