According to McPherson’s website:
Kim Mcpherson has made wines of exception quality in Texas and California for over 25 years. After graduating from Texas Tech University, Kim completed the enology and viticulture program at UC Davis and worked in Napa Valley. In 1979 Kim returned to Lubbock as a winemaker at Llan Estacado Winery, founded by his father, Dr. Clinton “Doc” McPherson, the pioneer of the modern Texas wine industry. Kim was named winemaker at Cap Rock Winery in 1990 and in 2000 created McPherson Cellars to Honor his father.
Kim and “Doc” were inducted in to the “Who’s Who in Food and Wine in Texas” in 1998. Kim’s Texas wines have won over 400 medals in state, national, and international wine competitions including two Double Gold Medals at the prestigious San Francisco Wine Fair. He continues to be an innovative and dynamic force in the Texas wine industry. Kim produces only premium quality wines from grapes grown primarily on the Texas High Plains, including “Doc’s” Sagmor Vineyard and the Dell Valley in far West Texas. Kim believes in “planting to the land” so his focus is on Rhone and Italian varietals and his dedication and skill show in McPherson Cellars wines.
