COLTERRIS WINERY Founded in 2010, COLTERRIS is family-owned and operated in the Grand Valley AVA, Palisade, CABERNET SAUVIGNON Colorado. The name COLTERRIS means Grand Valley “from the Colorado land.” Colterris Estate Wines will always be 2016 produced 100% from our family vineyards. Situated along the Colorado River, the high-altitude meso-climates and volcanic soils of our vineyards contribute to the rich color, intense fruit flavors and robust character that make COLTERRIS wines unique. WINEMAKER NOTES The 2016 Colterris Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromatics of dark concentrated fruits like black current and ripe blackberry with subtle notes of cocoa, tobacco and dried rosemary in support. On the palate, the wine is layered and complex with robust fruitfulness, velvety smooth tannins and subtle savory notes held together with a juicy mid-palate and subtle acidity throughout.
