Winemaker Notes
The Terra Rosa Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon displays a beautiful violet-hued rim and a black core. The nose is filled with cassis (yes, real cassis, not just the usual winemaker claim!), plums, and violets: it's deep and fragrant, with mineral overtones. In the mouth it's silky, mouth filling, supple, with a lively elegance. Tannins are sufficient to stand up to food and to provide a pleasant grip. Overall, the wine is incredibly balanced and simply delicious. It invites a second glass, bottle, and pallet. It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially perfect wine by the glass than the Terra Rosa Chile. Wonderful with grilled meats and hearty pastas.

Laurel Glen Vineyard, a thousand feet up the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, has long been considered one of the iconic Cabernet vineyards of California. Originally planted in the 1880’s, the present-day vineyard was developed in the 1970’s by Sonoma wine pioneer Patrick Campbell. The 1st vintage of Laurel Glen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was made in 1981. The vineyard’s combination of high altitude, eastern exposure, rocky soils, and small diurnal temperature swings combine to produce very distinctive wines. Despite its small production, the wine has received international acclaim for its exceptional balance, elegance and ability to age gracefully.
