Terret Noir is an old red grape from the southern Rhône, historically one of the permitted blending varieties in Châteauneuf-du-Pape though rarely a leading component even there. California's CDFA reports mention it in only two years, 2000 and 2001, within a single crush district, with volumes never exceeding about 1.3 tons crushed in either year and prices topping out at $900 a ton. No bearing acreage was ever separately reported, and it disappears from state records after 2001 — a brief, minimal trial rather than an established California planting.

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Terret Noir, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
