WINE DESCRIPTION
Terre Rouge High Slopes Syrah is an exceptional red wine from California’s Sierra Foothills, produced from grapes grown in high-altitude vineyards that experience cooler temperatures and long growing seasons. This terroir allows for slow ripening, resulting in a Syrah with depth and complexity. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak, which enhances its structure and adds subtle spice. High Slopes Syrah displays bold aromas of blackberries, smoked meats, and pepper, with a full-bodied palate that balances richness and freshness, making it an ideal match for roasted meats or grilled game.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Syrah opens with intense aromas of ripe blackberry, black plum, and smoky notes of bacon fat and black pepper.On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with flavors of dark fruit, earthy undertones, and a touch of spice, all framed by well-integrated tannins. The wine’s long, savory finish makes it a perfect pairing for lamb, venison, or smoked barbecue.

ORIGINS
Winery: Terre Rouge
Region: Sierra Foothills
The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
