In the Spring of 2020, we began the weekly habit of sending out a postcard that documented life at Tom Scott Vineyard. We published the first set of these here in August of 2021. This is the second set that includes photos through April of 2022. From our world to yours, these humble moments we would like to share with you. All the best to you and your loved ones - Tom & Lauren Scott

In March 2020, we were as shocked as anyone at the unexpected turn of events due to the pandemic. Over a glass of w**e one evening, Tom’s imperfect ears heard the phrase “Shelter in place”as “Shelter with a case!” It made us laugh and we thought it might make others laugh, or at least smile. We started sending weekly images; photos and occasionally cartoons, all in an effort to share a smile in challenging times. We hope these efforts have made a small difference in your week!

All our best to you,

Tom and Lauren

In these most unusual of times, nothing could stop Spring from erupting and pushing our vines skywards towards the warm sun.

In our new "Notes from the Vineyard,” we try to capture the earthy magic of the moment, as we work and prune our 2,500 vines, with an eye towards where the road to fall harvest will lead us.

For the full story, please check out our latest Notes...

Tasting Notes:
The 2016 Barn Burner is a rare and extraordinary w**e. Perfectly constructed, its great depth is balanced by an alluring brightness making it a pleasure to drink.

The rich nose draws you in with aromas of ripe blackberries freshly picked in the warm summer sun along with Fraises des Bois and dark cherries. Scents of prosciutto, olives and Herbs de Provence join the fruit while the bouquet of violets and hardwood maple add to its complexity.

The palate certainly lives up to the promise. The fruit of blackberry, cherry and little French strawberries are all there, joined by big fat blueberries. The olives have been transformed into tapenade sprinkled with Herbs de Provence and Tellicherry black pepper while a touch of tea rose rounds out this lovely, integrated w**e.

The 2016 Barn Burner is more than rewarding now and will be a treasure to cellar. – Tracy Wood Anderson
