Creating a World Class Cabernet
Creating a World Class Cabernet With our 2022 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, winemaker Josh Maloney employed a time-intensive, old-world technique
We are excited to announce that we have acquired the respected Barons Winery brand. Barons, known particularly for its Cabernet Sauvignon, has been a stalwart of Washington wine since its founding in 1999 by five “barons” of timber, agriculture, and business.
When the Barons leadership decided it was time to retire, we jumped at the chance to acquire this highly-regarded label and continue their incredible legacy of production and service under the Capital Call Vintners brand.
To honor the acquisition, we are producing two bottles in tribute to this treasured winery:
Our 2022 Barons Cabernet Sauvignon will be 95% Red Mountain fruit with 5% fruit from our estate Wheatfield Vines Vineyard—all the big bold flavor Barons is known for with a soupçon of bright elegance. This bottle will bear the traditional and familiar Barons label.
The 2022 Terra Barone Sangiovese continues the story of the local land barons under a new Italian-inspired label. This wine, harvested from Wheatfield Vines, captures the essence of farming, location, and tradition—and Steve and Alan’s commitment to all three. This will be the first wine from the new Terre Barone (Italian for “land baron” and pronounced bear-OH-nay) label.

Creating and executing the vision for Capital Call Vintners’ new Walla Walla tasting room has been a delightful challenge for local designer Melanie Jaques. Having spent many years living and working in Walla Walla and the Tri-cities, she understands that while the wine is the draw, a welcoming and charming environment is vital to why guests choose to stay.

Steve Bruere remembers well the fateful phone call. Alan Busacca, his partner in Windhorse Vineyard, was on the line. The business needed a quick cash infusion. The two had spoken the day before. On that call, Steve had brought up the fact that harvest at their vineyard was running below expectations. The way things were looking, the vineyard was going to run in the red that year. “I don’t think we’re making any money,” he remembered telling his partner.
