This Fiddletown Syrah is bold and savory, with juicy raspberry and rhubarb, singed herbs and grilled meat. It has great transparency and purity, a compelling mineral focus, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Close100% Syrah
Food pairings: Grilled beef, roast lamb, and game such as venison.
Winemaking: The 2017 was hand-picked on October 13, 14, and 17, fermented in small vats with hand punch-downs, then after 10–12 days gravity-fed to the press, settled overnight, and racked to French oak, 25% new, for 23 months.
Vineyards and terroir: DTR Ranch is the estate home ranch in the Fiddletown appellation, planted in 1999. It is Terre Rouge’s coolest Syrah site, on steep slopes of slate, schist, and quartz in the Fiddletown canyon bowl along the North Fork of Dry Creek. Most of the vines are grown without rootstock. The site is farmed in a holistic, sustainable way, with cover crops, compost, and hand labor.
Family and history: Domaine de la Terre Rouge and Easton Wines was founded in the late 1980s by winemaker Bill Easton and Jane O’Riordan. Easton, who earlier ran Solano Cellars in Berkeley, makes Rhône-variety wines from the Sierra Foothills and is known for an élevage approach that includes extended bottle aging before release. The 2017 DTR Ranch is a library-aged vintage in that sense.
