Hand-harvested on October 6th and 9th from our two Saint Helena vineyards, the 2023 Barbour Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and savory, unfolding black cherry, boysenberry, and holiday spices. The 2023 vintage balances on the edge of opulence, yet never weighed down. Full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins, it flows elegantly from the first sip to its lingering finish. In its youth, savor the 2023 Barbour Cabernet Sauvignon after a brief decant. This vintage will evolve gracefully for over 25 years.
Jim Barbour dedicated his life to grape farming in Napa Valley. Man Cave Blend III Cabernet Sauvignon originates from his vineyard in St. Helena on the bank of Sulphur Creek. Renowned winemaker Celia Welch created this 5-case blend of 100% clone 685 from the critically acclaimed 2023 vintage. Together, they offer this extraordinary wine for auction to the highest bidder.

Barbour Vineyards Description
Jim Barbour
Viticulturist/proprietor
Jim Barbour is an outdoorsman and devoted fly fisherman. when he’s not working in a vineyard, he can be found barbecuing in his backyard, relaxing at his idaho home, or knee-deep in the running waters of a stream filled with rainbows and browns.
in his 30-plus year career, he has planted and managed some of napa valley’s most regarded vineyards, worked with its most respected winemakers, and been essential to the creation of some of its most highly rated wines.
CELIA WELCH
WINEMAKER
celia welch is one of north america's most highly regarded winemakers and has earned a reputation for crafting distinctive wines that express the unique qualities and characteristics of each vineyard.
as the daughter of an avid wine collector and home winemaker, celia welch had an early introduction to wine appreciation and the elements of winemaking. she discovered her fascination with flavors and aromas which inspired her to earn her degree in enology from uc-davis. afterward, she explored and worked in the wine regions of the pacific northwest, new zealand, and australia.
she then settled in napa valley and after spending several years working in notable wineries honing her skills, she became an independent winemaker working for such clients as staglin family vineyard. today, her client list consists of a select group of napa valley wineries, including scarecrow, keever vineyards, lindstrom, and hollywood and vine. celia also produces wine under her own label, corra.
In the nearly three decades she has been making wine professionally, Celia has contributed greatly to the success of Napa Valley. We are privileged to have her as part of the Barbour Wines team.
