Formed in 2001 by five business partners passionate about fine wine, Barons V currently offers two wines—Barons V Cabernet Sauvignon and Vine & Sun, Bordeaux-style red table blend. While vintages are normally available only to a private mailing list and select wine shops & fine restaurants, the 2007 vintage marks the first time since the company’s inception that the public will be offered this wine directly.
We are very pleased to announce some new faces at Barons V! We are in the process of transferring ownership from Bill Currie, Dan Dutton and Rick Holley to four new partners: Rick Ellingson, Roger Moore, Tim Tweten and Jim Williams, who will join Chuck Carpenter and Gary McLean in overseeing Barons operations. Bill, Dan and Rick will still be associated with the winery as advisors. We thank them for their invaluable assistance in establishing Barons V in 2001, and their commitment to continue to support the wine. The new partners all reside in Washington State, have been adding Barons to their wine collections for a while, and are delighted with the chance to own a piece of the winery.
Matthew Loso, who spearheaded the Barons V project with Gary McLean, is our consulting winemaker. Liam Springer, our all-star production assistant, also helps out in the tasting room with Grace Mincin, Victoria Choe, Leslie Graddon and Ebbie Beatty. Terri DePaola, who has been with us for the last 8 years, handles the accounting and compliance.
