About Amulet Estate
Amulet Estate occupies a 20-acre property in the hills above St. Helena, with roughly five planted acres farmed by Barbour Vineyards that straddle two appellations, a lower block on the St. Helena valley floor and an upper block in the Howell Mountain AVA at about 1,700 feet. Farming has transitioned to organic practices, and total production is a boutique 1,000 to 1,500 cases a year, sold primarily through the estate's allocation list.
The property has lived several lives: developed as Dancing Hares with a winery completed in 2009, renamed Tuck Beckstoffer Estate in 2016, and given the Amulet name, from the Latin amuletum, "an object that provides good fortune", under new ownership in early 2021. Visits are a single private tour-and-tasting format, by appointment through Tock.
Five planted acres, two AVAs, St. Helena valley floor below, Howell Mountain at 1,700 feet above, for a production of barely 1,500 cases.

✓
Two AVAs, one small estateThe planted blocks straddle the St. Helena and Howell Mountain AVAs, giving a 1,000 to 1,500-case producer both valley-floor and 1,700-foot hillside fruit.
✓
Organic hillside farmingVineyard management by Barbour Vineyards has moved the site to organic practices, favoring biochar and fish emulsion over synthetic inputs.
✓
Allocation-firstProduction is small enough that estate wines are offered first through the member allocation list, with one private visit format for guests.
"A talisman-named St. Helena estate whose five organic acres straddle the valley floor and Howell Mountain."
