Founded also by vintner John Schwartz and Heidi Peterson Barrett, Amuse
Bouche (meaning “appetizer” in French) released their first in 2002. They focus
on producing a premium Napa Merlot to rival some of France’s best Merlot’s.
This wine is a part of their artist series – a wine where the label changes each
year, displaying a painting picked out by Heidi and John.
