McPherson Cellars Description

Siema

Few people can imagine something that doesn’t exist yet. Dr. Clinton
‘Doc’ McPherson was one of those rare dreamers. In the late ‘60s, he
planted experimental vineyards in Lubbock, testing varieties for qual-
ity fruit. His Sangiovese in our Estate Sagmor Vineyard was the first in
Texas and still produces fruit for our flagship wines. Doc played a key
role in founding the Texas High Plains AVA, paving the way for future
Texas winemakers with his abundant humor and irrepressible curiosi-
ty. We continue to celebrate the High Plains and honor Doc’s pioneer-
ing spirit by dreaming big about the future of Texas wine.
McPherson Cellars is a collaboration between small West Texas farm-
ers and our urban Lubbock winery housed in a 1930s-era Coca Cola
bottling plant, led by Winemaker Kim McPherson and Assistant Wine-
maker Spenser Igo. Our purpose is to celebrate the character of our
individual vineyards while raising the profile of Texas wine as a whole.

An homage to Spain’s leading red grape, this Tempranillo
blend marries the savory, tobacco, and red fruit elements
evocative of its homeland with the bright, earthy, dark fruit
characters of the Texas High Plains. Spanish for heritage, “La
Herencia” deftly balances brawny flavors with an elegant struc-
ture. Tart black plum and concentrated red cherry aromas are
framed by aromas of smoky cigar box. Judicious use of oak
reveals hints of vanilla and cedar, leading to a soft, yet earthy
finish. A great pairing for grilled meats or mushroom risotto.
