Sensory Description:

Colterris Canterris Red pours a deep, rich color that mirrors the intensity of the Colorado landscape. The nose is layered with dark fruit tones, offering blackberry, plum, and subtle spice against a backdrop of earth and mineral. On the palate, generous fruit is balanced by structured tannins and lively acidity, giving the wine both power and finesse. The texture is robust yet refined, carrying through to a long finish accented with hints of oak, dark chocolate, and savory undertones.

Winemaker's Background:

Colterris derives its name from the phrase “from the Colorado land,” with ‘COL’ representing Colorado and ‘terris’ meaning land or earth. All wines are estate-grown and bottled from their 200-acre estate in the Grand Valley AVA. By meeting the strict U.S. government standards for “Estate” labeling, Colterris ensures authenticity at every stage, from vineyard to bottle. Their vineyards benefit from volcanic soils and the moderating influence of the Colorado River, giving their wines vibrant color, intensity, and character. Winemaker Bo Felton, raised in Colorado and trained both domestically and abroad, brings a vineyard-driven approach that highlights terroir, while Assistant Winemaker Justin Jannusch provides seasoned expertise and a deep understanding of Colorado viticulture.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 60–65 °F in Bordeaux-style stemware to best showcase its layered profile. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled steak, or hearty mushroom dishes, while also complementing charcuterie and aged cheeses. Its balance of fruit, spice, and structure makes it equally enjoyable on its own or at the table.

Colterris Canterris Red is more than just a bottle of wine, it is a genuine expression of Colorado’s land, climate, and craftsmanship. Its estate-grown authenticity, combined with the skill of its winemaking team, makes this a truly distinctive red blend that stands apart from more conventional regions.
