Portrait of Heidi Barrett
i. Biography
Heidi Peterson Barrett is an American winemaker associated with several Napa Valley cult-wine producers, including Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Amuse Bouche, Kenzo Estate, and Paradigm Winery. Paradigm’s official site says Ren and Marilyn Harris hired her in 1991 and that she stepped down as Paradigm’s winemaker after 35 years in 2024, with her style preserved by Mark Fasi and cellar master Pedro Martinez. Wine Spectator and other wine coverage describe her as a trailblazing Napa winemaker whose work helped establish the reputation of cult wines and drew multiple 100-point scores.
