Daniel and Sam Baron bring a combined 60 years of grapegrowing and winemaking experience on three continents to their approach to making Complant wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complant is an obsolete French word that means a cultivated perennial plant that produces fruit. Sam and Daniel Baron chose to name their wine Complant because they feel that the interface between humans and grapevines is at the core of their winemaking philosophy. Sam and Daniel bring a combined 65 years of experience to their approach to the craft of artisanal winemaking. Daniel, an accomplished musician, was once told by a virtuoso who had just played a flawless Bach prelude on Daniel\u2019s 1924 Gibson F-2 mandolin, \u201cDan, you\u2019re playing it too hard. When you play a beautiful instrument like this, let it do the work.\u201d Sam, an accomplished potter, knows when he works with beautiful stoneware and forms a classic shape, he doesn\u2019t need to overdecorate his piece \u2013 he lets the form and the substance speak. This is the essence of the Barons\u2019 approach to winemaking \u2013 when you work with beautiful terroir, let it do the work; let it speak. In doing so, they produce vibrant, expressive, moderate alcohol wines that are the next step in the evolution of Napa Valley winemaking. These are the wines of Complant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
