Meet Sharon Krull of Terraces Winery this week at Imbibe Wine

Hello to all those who Imbibe ~

This Thursday (April 15th!) Sharon Crull of Terraces Vineyards will be at Imbibe from 5 - 7 p.m. Stop on by to taste four of their very special wines for just $15.

I first met Timm and Sharon Crull in Napa Valley at a trade tasting more than ten years ago. With every release of their wines, I'm blown away by how far these wines over-deliver.

Very Cool History

Terraces Vineyard was first planted more than 100 years ago when in 1881 Charles Scheggia purchased the property and planted the Zinfandel clone that is still used today, making it one of the oldest plantings of Zinfandel in the Napa Valley. Charlie Wagner of Caymus purchased these grapes and considered them to be some of the finest in the Napa Valley. In the late 1970's Charlie's friend Wayne Houge took over the property and replanted a few acres to Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the 90's the Crull family bought the Terraces and have taken it to another level. Over 30 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel are farmed at the Quarry Vineyards. A large portion of the Cabernet goes into the Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet.

Meet & Greet Sharon Crull
The Terraces

The Terraces bottles four wines:

2007 Zinfandel (the staff favorite) - only 834 cases produced. Powerful rich deeply colored Zinfandel.

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - A best buy in Cabernet Sauvignon. Only 398 cases produced. Lavish amounts of rich cassis fruit with layers of black cherry.

2007 Petite Sirah from the Dollar Ranch - Wonderful wine. 223 cases produced. Flavors of blue and plumy fruits, rich with earthy tannins.

2008 Chardonnay from the Carpy-Connelly Ranch - 627 cases produced. Great fruit with no malo-lactlic fermentation; one of the most palate pleasing chardonnays you will ever taste.

Come by and say hello to Sharon, taste all four wines for only $15 and receive a $5 credit on each bottle purchased up to $15.

From now through the end of summer (August 31st), for every bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel purchased, your name will be entered in a drawing for a one of a kind, hand-selected bourbon barrel signed by Master Distiller, Jeff Norman. Quantities of the Single Barrel are very limited and this particular bottling will never exist again so be sure to stop in and pick up a few for safe keeping.
