Tierra 2021

Gold, 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Our 2021 Tierra is a fresh and fruity premium Rhône-style blend (GSM) made up in thirds of our Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre wines. Carefully balanced to bring out the best of all three of our wines and to showcase the exceptional growing condition for Rhône varietals in our region and terroir. With a nose of black fruits and black pepper, the Tierra doesn’t hold back.  Loads of black cherry and cranberry on the palate ending with an elegant black pepper finish.  Perfect for grilled or roasted meats, BBQ chicken or hard cheese. 13.5% alcohol. 124 cases produced.

Appellation:

Shenandoah Valley/El Dorado County

Winemaker Notes:

Tierra is the blending of 3 wines each produced at different times – Grenache (Alban clone), Syrah (877 French clone) and Mourvèdre (520 French clone) - a perfect balance that showcases the amazing region we have for making Rhône wines. Aged in ~25% French oak.

Vineyard Notes:

In 2021 we had our first excellent harvests of these as the grafting for Syrah and Mourvèdre was a great success. All three varietals are grown on our estate now, at 2,000-foot elevation in granitic and volcanic clay loam soil on special drought-tolerant rootstock with vines digging deep for natural water. The vines thrive in the warm daytime breezes from the Central Valley and cool Sierra evenings, a 30-degree swing in temperature, perfect for Rhône varietals.
