The pinnacle wine for the Terlato family, EPISODE stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best Bordeaux Blends in the world. Purchase a piece of history with EPISODE's inaugural 2001 vintage. Rich in flavors of chocolate, coffee and Christmas cake spice, smooth and silky on the palate with fine grained tannins. This is the wine born of a dream to produce truly exceptional Bordeaux-style blends with the best fruit in Napa Valley and the start of a new wine-making tradition.
