With every release, Teneral Cellars works to further elevate women. We use wine as a conduit for change—for disruption.

According to the World Economic Forum, it will take 208 years to achieve gender equality. We’re turning the mirror back on ourselves to focus on furthering equity within the wine industry. Ten percent of every sale from the Disrupt Now collection goes to Women of the Vine & Spirits Foundation. We’ve partnered with the nonprofit to help fund scholarships that advance the careers of women—prioritizing women of color, who are significantly under-represented in the winemaking industry.

About The Wines

Power and structure define this Cabernet; blackberry and black currant flavors are contrasted by savory herbs and black pepper. Barrel aging lends a sweet baking spice note to the wine. This powerful wine has restrained, velvety tannins and a long finish.

2020 PINOT NOIR

Russian River Valley, California

Pinot Noir is the most seductive and elegant of red grapes. Our Sonoma Pinot bursts with black cherry cola, raspberry jam, and tangy cranberry layered with cedar and woodsy notes. The soft tannins lead to a long, spice-laden finish.

2020 ALBARIÑO

This Iberian grape is a rising star in California. Flashy notes of nectarine, Cara Cara oranges, and tangerine are matched with a cool minerality and creamy texture. Bright acidity makes this mouthwatering wine the ultimate aperitif wine!

Wine Industry Equity

Only ten percent of winemakers are women, and a scant 0.1% of all winemakers are Black. Female sommeliers make only 70 cents for every dollar that their male counterparts earn. The majority—67%—of all wine is purchased by women, yet the industry doesn't reflect its largest customer. Taking disruptive action is the only way for women to receive the resources and opportunities needed to reach equality and equity. Read more on our blog.
