St. Barthélemy Cellars is our small, family owned and operated winery in Napa Valley. Our labor of love is producing premium varietal port wines unique in style and flavor. Each of our ports is made from a single grape variety, lending familiar characteristics while creating deep berry flavors and complexity. Fortified at a lower residual sugar level than most other ports, they are enjoyable as an apertif, main course accompaniment or dessert wine.

Our family venture into the wine business started just a few years ago in 2000. After living in the beautiful Napa Valley for 20 years and enjoying the fruits of everyone else’s labors, Bart and Cynthia Barthélemy decided to join the fun. Since then, they’ve found that not only is it fun but very hard work! They asked their daughter, Angelique, and her husband, Jason, if they would like to join forces and help build and grow the new company. The idea was to take a different path than most of the vintners in the wine business and become a port-only winery. Varietal ports, made from the wonderful, high-quality grapes grown in California that would focus on the individual traits of each varietal. The former horse pastures on Bart and Cynthia’s ranch overlooking Lake Berryessa in the eastern hills of Napa Valley have been planted with Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Viognier grapes and are now mature enough to be part of our production. Now, nine years later, Bart oversees the company and the winemaking, Jason is Winery Manager and assists in the winemaking for our upcoming 2009 vintage, Angelique performs sales and marketing duties, while Cynthia helps with it all! We are grateful to be able to work along side each other and see the satisfying results of hard work and new ideas.We have succeeded in creating a portfolio of seven premium varietal ports; Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel, with additional varieties to be released in the future. All of our ports can be enjoyed with a wide range of food pairings or simply savored on their own.
