Description:
Mourvèdre is one of the more important red grapes of the Rhône River. Although largely unknown in the U.S., it does very well in the wine growing areas of Santa Barbara County. Our goal in making this Mourvèdre was to express the ripe, red raspberry fruit flavors as purely as possible. After destemming, the grapes were fermented in a small stainless-steel tank. The wine was aged for 10 months in older French oak to soften the tannins. Finally, the blend was finished with small amounts of Syrah and Carignane to further enhance the body and aroma.
This Mourvèdre shows typical varietal flavors of black raspberry and new leather, accompanied by exotic violet aromas. This is a mouth-filling, intensely flavored and darkly colored wine with smoky, brooding tannins in the finish.
