Wine Details
Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
Mourvèdre is always the last variety that we pick for our TERRE ROUGE label. Things were no different in the great vintage of 2000 when we brought our Mourvèdre into the winery on November 6th at 24.5š brix, .65 TA, and 3.8 pH. This is a rich full-bodied vintage that is spicy, powerful, and long on the palate. We use cellaring techniques that involve a long lees reduction to help to broaden and fill the middle palate with great textural sensations. The flavors are of blackberry, meaty, with an almost tomato-like Pommard quality. It is definitely gamey like Bandol, without the funkiness that Bandol, often, unfortunately offers. It is a fabulous partner for wild game, lamb, and wild salmon.
