 Tom
and Lauren Scott have a very simple goal in life, to grow the finest
grapes possible, make a truly fine Cabernet Sauvignon and share
it with a select group of friends. Towards that end they work their
vineyard themselves. In order to better understand the relationship
between the land, the vine and the environment they obtained their
degrees in Viticulture from Napa Valley College. But nothing has
taught them more than being in the vineyard daily, working the vines
and watching the effects of the ever-changing environmental conditions.
Tom was raised in Oakville and obtained farming experience on the
family prune ranch. He went on to spend twenty-five years as a general
building contractor, building homes, wineries and barns throughout
the Napa Valley. Tom became directly involved in daily vineyard
and winery operations when he married Carol Anderson, owner of S.
Anderson Winery. Years later, following the sale of S. Anderson
Winery and Carol’s death, Tom’s desire to produce the
highest quality fruit and wine led him to establish Tom Scott Vineyard
and Barn Burner Cabernet Sauvignon.
Lauren can claim no farming or wine industry experience prior to
moving to the Napa Valley. Formerly Lauren Lucier, she lived in
Santa Monica with her daughter, Brandyn and worked as a legal administrator.
Born and raised in Southern California, Lauren had always been a
weekend gardener. Landscaping the area surrounding their home and
working in the vineyard that surrounds it, has allowed her to expand
her gardening knowledge and skills to an extent she never imagined.
Every day Tom and Lauren look around their beautiful home and vineyard
and appreciate the dreams that led to its inception and the hard
work that’s led to its reality. And each evening they drink
a toast to “Getting it done…and love.” |
