Planted in 1968 on iron rich, red rocky soil, the Red Rock Terrace Vineyard comprises approximately 7 acres of the Estate. North-facing Red Rock Terrace is a steeply terraced vineyard. The rocky, red-tinted soil is high in oxidized iron content, and because of its northerly aspect, the grapes receive less direct sunlight. Red Rock Terrace often expounds with dark cherry and black currant flavors, ripe, mouthcoating, velvety tannins and notes of tea, iron and savory dried herbs. The wine from Red Rock Terrace is the most accessible and earliest drinkable of all our wines.
This has a very elegant; minerally nose with notes of black cherry and violets. Quite opulent. Very tannic palate with sublime balance; good acidity with a minerally core – this Red Rock really expresses its terroir with aplomb. Classy and refined. Superb.
