TERRE ROUGE and EASTON Wines is located in California on the West
Slope of the Sierra Nevada in Amador County’s Shenandoah Valley.
Our wines are made from vineyards in four Sierra Foothill counties:
Placer, El Dorado, Amador, and Calaveras. We also source fruit from
one vineyard site in the soon-to-be new Clements appellation.
The style of our wines emphasizes deep color, balanced flavors,
full middle palate, and a long finish, with power and finesse. They
gain complexity with age. Our goal has been to make the finest wines
possible from our region - wines that transcend time and place and
can be placed on the table with the best wines of the world. They
are meant to be enjoyed with good food and friends.
Our winery and vineyards are at the biotic transition zone between
the Foothill Oak Belt as characterized by the Sierra Foothill Woodland
on the Terre Rouge label, and the Yellow Pine Belt as characterized
by the Ponderosa Pine on the Easton label. We farm our vineyards
sustainably and our winery derives most of its electrical power
from solar panels located the roof of the main winery building.
On the next few pages, we share our wines with you. We make over
twenty different wines, many of which are very small production
(under 600 cases). Each is unique and site-specific with a sense
of place (terroir) all of their own. Visit us in California’s
Shenandoah Valley or just visit us on line. If you get lost on the
trail or just want to speak to a person, give us a call. We’d
love to hear from you.
