✨ Technical Specifications
McPherson Cellars, located in Lubbock, Texas, is a cornerstone of the Lone Star State's modern wine industry. Founded by winemaker Kim McPherson to honor his father, Clinton 'Doc' McPherson—a legendary pioneer who planted some of the first experimental wine grapes in the Texas High Plains in the 1960s—the winery has become synonymous with high-quality, warm-climate viticulture. The 'EVS' designation pays homage to the Escondido Valley, one of Texas's distinct AVAs characterized by its dry, sun-drenched climate and limestone-rich soils. McPherson's red wines from this region showcase the winery's mastery of Mediterranean and Spanish varieties that thrive in the intense Texas heat. These wines are celebrated for their bright red fruit profiles, earthy undertones, and balanced acidity, offering a true and expressive taste of Texas terroir.
