2022 Theo-patra’s Cuvée "Cerise" Yorkville Highlands, Mendocino County, CA

Emboldened by the great fruit produced by the land in prestigious Yorkville Highland, Anderson Valley, its owner and founder, Theodora R. Lee aka Theo-patra, Queen of the Vineyards, a bold and dynamic Texan and San Francisco trial lawyer, is now bottling her own award winning wines.  Trailblazer owner and winemaker Theodora, knows her grapes and her tasters, as a minority Black Woman in the industry, she receives all the major awards for her wines.

She presents this wine that suits multiple palates and parallels with many styles. A blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache, and Mouvedre, and is delightful from first encounter to last sip. The palate is rich and juicy with notes of cherry preserves and buttery shortbread that transcend to a long, warm finish. A perfect glass on its own, this wine also pairs beautifully with warm comforting cuisine..
