2019 Petite Sirah
93 Points/Editors Choice - Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Right off the bat, the wine's blackberry, cacao-nib, nutmeg and coffee aromas wrap your head in a plush blanket. Equally rich flavors like boysenberry jam, figs, almonds and nutmeg cover the palate like a second coat of paint. The Terraces' hedonistic joys are balanced by brawny tannins and elevated acidity.

Double Gold/Best of Class – Cascadia International 2023
The 2019 vintage shows that Pat Spangler used his 2018 Oregon Winery of the Year award as a template for future acclaim, receiving gold or better for four entries. His 2019 Petite Sirah was best of class, his 2019 Carm went double gold and his 2019 Cab Franc was golden. And yet, the 2020 Claret may hold the best promise by having already earned a double gold medal among Merlot-led Meritage-type efforts.
