Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Ripe black fruits layered with boysenberry, bing cheery, plum, and mulberry with cedar, cocoa, anise, sage, and caramel notes rounding out the aromas. The rich and savory tannins are forward on the palate and extend into the bright and soft mid-palate. Long and rich fruit tannings layer the finish lingering with sweet caramel and vanilla notes.

James Suckling
Aromas of currants and oyster shell follow through to a full body, silky and juicy tannins and a stone and mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
Pure and rich, with density, a firm tannic backbone and tiers of blackberry, wild berry, currant and black licorice flavors. This veers toward the dry side, but ends with cedary oak grip and a kick of fruit. Drink now through 2028. 2,880 cases made.

Terra Valentine takes winemaking to a new level - about 2,100 feet above the Napa Valley. It is a winery that brings together a state-of-the-art fermentation system with the uncovered beauty of an artisan-constructed building - a colorful and well-hidden treasure of Spring Mountain history.
Terra Valentine sources from Spring Mountain whose varied terrain shines through in the robust yet balanced style of the wines–exhibiting the true essence of the Spring Mountain District. While mountain viticulture presents its challenges, for Terra Valentine, it comes down to hand-tending the vines to get the most out of the diverse soil types and ripening patterns that the mountain bears. The reward–wines ripe with intense flavor and color.
