2017 Terrosa Reserve
*** Enter the Description of this product
30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 25% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
The bitter winter of 2017 was devastating to Idaho vineyards, leading to greatly reduced harvests. This Terrosa is the only red wine we produced from that vintage. The silver lining for wine lovers is the lower yields produced fruit with intenselyconcentrated flavor and complexity. Delicious now, those patient enough to lay down a few bottles will be amply rewarded.
Beautiful aromas of lilac and pipe tobacco. Juicy and full on the palate with wild blackberries, black currant, dark chocolate, and dried herbs. Well-balanced with some fun verve carrying through to the rich finish tasting each distinct varietal.
Tasting notes
Nosefulof lilac, sage and blueberry. The palate is bright with cherry and layers of blackberry jam and pomegranate acidity. A lingering red currant and marionberry finish.
