BARDEN is the dream to make the ultimate expression of Santa Barbara County grapes grown in the Sta.
Rita Hills AVA. Our access to the top vineyards along with the philosophy and knowledge I’ve gained over
my thirty years in the wine business allows attempting to make world-class wines. The BARDEN brand is
my middle name and its English meaning is “Lives near the boar's den” … thusly we have adorned the label
with an image of the wild boar that is pervasive in the Sta. Rita Hills.
