2023 Coakley Vineyard

About this wine

The 2023 Coakley Grenache, Terranean’s vibrant tribute to a premier terroir, beguiles with delicate floral aromas and a profound savory depth, crafted through 50% whole cluster fermentation. Sourced from the Coakley Vineyard in Paso Robles’ Willow Creek District, our coolest site, its east-facing calcareous slopes capture the marine layer’s cooling embrace, yielding grapes from Grenache clones 6.1 and 8.1—distinctive selections planted in 2018. These vines, thriving in Paso’s climate, produce small berries with intense minerality and intricate layers, blessed by the ‘23 season’s abundant rainfall and cool, even ripening. Crafted with the guidance of Jenny Heinzen, Randy Heinzen, and their skilled team, with whom we collaborate, the Coakley Vineyard thrives under Randy’s expertise as a leading grower. With carefully curated varieties tailored to Paso Robles and precision in viticulture, its growing reputation as a premier site signals a bright future for distinctive fruit. Rooted in a rich agricultural past, the site, nestled at the iconic corner of Vineyard Drive and Highway 46 West, was established in 2018 by John Coakley, with blocks named for his grandchildren, reflecting his enduring vision. The 2023 Coakley Grenache, with its bright acidity, mineral-driven complexity, and vibrant floral-spice notes, promises an enthralling aging journey, rooted in the distinctive terroir of the Willow Creek District.
