The Story
The quintessential red grape variety of the Northern Rhône Valley in France also does very well in California. At Alder Springs Vineyard we have worked closely with owner/grapegrower Stuart Bewley to access Syrah from several clones and particularly from his “Spirit Rock” location. This is 100% Syrah. François Villard and Donald Patz were determined to make a wine of elegance and finesse utilizing the Syrah grapes from Alder Springs Vineyard. A very gentle extraction process, somewhat lower sugar levels and careful barrel aging have produced a Syrah unlike any other in California.
About Terminim
Producer Story
Terminim was born from an unlikely friendship between François Villard — celebrated Northern Rhône vigneron — and Donald Patz, California winemaker known for Patz & Hall. In 2017, the two visited Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino County, a high-elevation site at 2,000–3,000 feet, and recognized its potential for Rhône varieties. What started with a handshake and a few tons of Marsanne has grown into a focused transatlantic collaboration.
