Wine Details
Price:
$24.00 per bottle
Description:
Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, all from Alto Pomar Vineyard in the stony shale hills of the Templeton microclimate, were combined at the crusher in this splendid vineyard blend of small clustered and deeply pigmented Rhône varieties from a small, organic vineyard.
The grapes were fermented in small open tops with a Rhône-style yeast to enhance and focus the meaty flavors of the Syrah, and the deep plumminess of the Mourvedre. The wine was then aged for 22 months in French and American barrels to integrate the layers and add a framework of oak.
Forest aromas of wild strawberry, oak, pine, humus and violets are followed by flavors of strawberry and cinnamon, with a hint of mace, in this incredibly complex and layered wine
