This one-of-a-kind smoker began its life at David Arthur Vineyards, where it was used to age their world-class Cabernet Sauvignon on Napa Valley’s prestigious Pritchard Hill. Crafted from French oak, the barrel absorbed years of rich, complex wine notes—deep berry, dark chocolate, and subtle spice—that now infuse anything cooked within it.

Lovingly converted into a smoker by David Arthur Long, the barrel retains its authentic vineyard character, complete with the deep red stain inside from Cabernet aging. The natural oak combined with the wine-soaked wood imparts a unique flavor profile, offering both history and craftsmanship in every meal prepared.

More than just a cooking tool, this smoker is a conversation piece that blends fine wine heritage with culinary artistry.
