2022 Mourvedre – Crookshouse Block

A stunningly floral nose, with violet and dried rose, matched by fresh cherries in syrup, and fresh aromatic herbs like sage. The palate is primed to develop over time, with singing acidity, a firm tannin structure, and medium alcohol and body.

Fermented in stainless steel tank for 15 days. Aged in 15% new French oak barrels and 85% neutral oak barrels for 17 months.

Pair with light game such as rabbit or duck, and Portobello mushroom schnitzel.

Age of Vines: 12 years. Soil Type: Amarillo fine sandy loam. Elevation: 3,300 ft.
