Exposed to the rigors of the foggy Sonoma coastline, this sixth-generation family-owned ranch resides on a bluff above Bodega, a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. This marginal site on the edge of the Sonoma Coast, Demeter certified Biodynamic® and farmed by the Benzigers, is characterized by consistently low yields and extended hang times. In 2009 cooler conditions during flowering resulted in fewer clusters per vine and smaller berries, in turn a miniscule yield, which resulted in deep fruit intensity.

Dark color with a crimson center. Elegant yet focused notes of wild strawberry, blueberry, currants, green tea, pain grillé, citrus peel, and shitake mushroom. Exotic and vibrant fruit flavors lead to a luscious and layered mid-palate, and an integrated acidity and lengthy finish compliments the silky tannins. While we craft approachable wines for early drinking as well as cellaring, the 2009 Terra Neuma will mature with grace in a cool cellar through 2018.

“A highly attractive nose of high and medium-toned fruit aromas include notes of cherry, cranberry and plum as well as soft spice nuances that give way to extremely rich, concentrated and powerful flavors that possess impressive volume before culminating in a delicious but entirely serious, long and sappy finish. This doesn’t quite have the depth of the Savoy but it certainly doesn’t lack for character.” —Alan Meadows

“Deep ruby. Riper and darker in character than the Neblina, showing raspberry and redcurrant aromas and notes of smoky herbs and violet. Supple, large-scaled and mouthfilling, with alluring sweetness to its cherry and blackberry flavors. Hints of white pepper and allspice add lift to the finish, which leaves notes of medicinal cherry and blackberry behind. This really deserves patience but looks extremely promising. ” — Josh Raynolds
