About Heidi P. Barrett Wines

Many of Heidi Barrett’s wines have gained ‘Cult Wine” status, a term born in Napa Valley that refers to wines with limited production, usually fewer than 600 cases per year, that have attained high ratings with scores of 90 – 100. These wines are chased by collectors and are mainly for investment rather than consumption.

Four of Heidi’s wines have received perfect scores of 100 points from Robert Parker.

A 6-liter bottle of her 1992 SE set a world’s record for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of wine at the 2000 Napa Valley Wine Auction, when it sold for US$500,000!
