2014 Domaine de la Terre Rouge 'Garrigue' Red Blend Sierra Foothills

Winemaker Notes:  Domaine de la Terre Rouge specializes in wines made from Rhône Valley varietals. For this wine we were inspired the wines that originate a bit further South along the coastal Mediterranean were vineyards grown along side the garrigue or the local chaparral in places like Baux de Provence with the unique producer Domaine Trévallon. Our vines grow in a similar environment, surrounded by manzanita, pine, toyon, yerba santa, and chamise. Tis is a blend of twothird’s Syrah and one-third Cabernet Sauvignon that is complex and savory, while still being accessible now. It is modestly-priced and eminently quaffable. Enjoy!

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This blend of two-thirds Syrah and one-third Cabernet Sauvignon is earthy, smoky and black peppery in a very good way, as it reveals funky nuances from the potent aromas through flavors that are also ripe and full of black-fruit notes, to the lingering spicy finish. There aren't many pure Syrahs from the Foothills as good as this blend."
