Description
In the early years of his career, Tony Terlato was exposed to many of the great chateaux of Bordeaux. He was deeply moved by these iconic vineyards and wines and was inspired to one day be a vintner. He realized his dream in 1996 when he purchased his first vineyard and winery. From that moment, he committed himself and his team to producing wines which would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the great wines of the world and to craft wines like the ones that had so inspired him as a young man.
Today, EPISODE is the embodiment of Tony’s dream and a tribute to the families that inspired him. EPISODE is a clear reflection of a specific, identifiable vineyard – the Terlato Family’s Napa hillside estate vineyard. It is a classic wine; deeply complex, powerful yet elegant, beautiful and approachable when young but with tremendous aging potential.
