Winemaker Notes
A classically rich, ripe and structured Sonoma County Merlot with a nod towards "Right Bank" Bordeaux. Aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, vanilla, cedar and cigar box tease the nose. The palate follows with mouth filling blackberry and plum flavors, and hints of vanilla and oak spice. Soft, smooth tannins integrate with the extended structure to make this a balanced, elegant Merlot from attack through to the lingering finish.
Bring together the founder of Clos du Bois Wines and Julia Child and what do you get? Daniel Donahoe, owner/founder of Teira Wines. Daniel grew up around Julia before setting out on a journey to west coast to intern at Cakebread Cellars. In 2001, Daniel and his wife Alexis, who happens to be the daughter of the founder of Clos Du Bois (Frank Woods), started Teira Wines, named after their two daughters, Thea and Keira – “Teira.” Daniel hired his good friend and winemaker Bill Knuttel to make Teira Wines from his father-in-laws original Clos Du Bois Vineyard, right in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, CA. On this property, they grow Sauvignon Blanc, the flagship of Teira as well as Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Merlot.
Nestled between W. Dry Creek Road and the Dry Creek itself, visitors can experience an exuberant Daniel Donahoe with glasses of wine, shotguns and some skeet shooting.
