Tierra Roja Vineyard & Winery
Welcome to Tierra Roja, a special
vineyard and a special wine that will transport you to the red earth of the
eastern hills of Oakville with each sip. One vineyard, one wine. We are
located in the heart of the Oakville appellation, at the center of the Napa
Valley in California. Surrounded by other first class vineyards that you
may know; Rudd, Screaming Eagle, Joseph Phelp’s Bacchus, Dalla Valle’s Maya,
Plumpjack and more.
Linda Neal has been growing grapes at
Tierra Roja Vineyard since 1987. In September of 2007, the very first
release took place of a wine made solely from the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
grown there. It was the 2004 vintage and was quickly met with acclaim from
wine professionals and consumers alike. Winemaker, David DeSante, created a
luscious wine that really brought out the unique flavors of this heritage
site. There were only 160 cases produced and was sold out by May.
The 2005 was released beginning
September 15, 2008 and the flavors are even more incredible than last year.
The 2004 and 2005 sold out quickly. The release of the 2006 will begin on
September 13, 2009. This vintage combines the best of the previous two,
with delicious fruit and smooth elegance.
