2020 Mourvèdre Bottle Image

Mourvèdre 2020

$50.00 SOLD OUT
/ 750 mL
This vintage is full of expressive earth tones that are complemented beautifully by the high toned cherry notes that we expect from our Mourvèdre block. The palate has very balanced tannins with notes of fruit and a good finish of acidity.

Highlights
  • Varietal percentages: 100% Mourvèdre
  • Vineyard(s): Morningsong Vineyards
  • Vineyard Notes: Morningsong Vineyards is our 20 acre estate vineyard located on the valley floor in the heart of Dry Creek Valley. Stretching from Dry Creek Road to the banks of Dry Creek, it is comprised of the loose, gravelly soils typical of the area, providing excellent drainage. Our proximity to the Russian River Valley means that the vineyards linger in the cool morning fog before the sun begins to warm them. There are two acres of Mourvèdre planted.
  • Certifications: Certified Sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance
