Red Wines
Our winemaking team employs a meticulous process to extract the flavor and intensity of the fruit, careful to ensure that the wines reflect the sense of place where they are grown and are true to varietal character.
Spring Mountain District Merlot
Spring Mountain District is well known for producing some of California’s most critically acclaimed Merlots. The bold structure and deep dark fruit found in the mountain Merlots is a stark contrast for the lighter versions from the valley floor. Our Merlot is made in very limited quantities and is reserved exclusively for our Club Valentine members. A blend of 3 clones with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, our Terra Valentine Estate Merlot is packed with brambly black fruit with a lush soft texture.
Purchase
Spring Mountain District Cabernet Franc
Our Cabernet Franc is sourced from the Bales Creek Vineyard, located in the upper elevations of Spring Mountain District . To promote full ripening and flavor development in the Cabernet Franc, these vines were planted in the warmest sections of the vineyard, in areas with the shallowest, rockiest soils.
Purchase
Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon shows the character of elevations and soil of Spring Mountain District. The fruit is de-stemmed and the whole berries cold-soaked for two days prior to fermentation. The wine spends an average of 21 days on the skins before the free-run wine is settled and racked to barrel for malolatic fermentation. The wine spends 22 months in French Oak barrels of which 35% are new which accents the trademark flavors of cocoa powder and black currant.
Purchase
Wurtele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Wurtele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has been sourced from the same part of the origional estate vineyard since 1996. At the top of the estate lies a north facing slope with shallow rocky volcanic soils. The vines on this part of the vineyard produce intensely concentrated fruit with deep color and structure. This 100% cabernet sauvignon is aged in 50% new French oak and has the structure to age gracefully for up to 20 years.
Purchase
Marriage Red Blend
Our Marriage Bordeaux blend changes every year though it is typically based on Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Blended to showcase the more subtle, elegant style of Spring Mountain, this deep, rich wine has impeccable balance and richness. We select the best barrels of both of our estates to create the Marriage blend. The Marriage celebrates how these varietals come together in perfect union.
