2009 marks our inaugural release of Mourvèdre which is sourced from a unique site in El Dorado managed by Ron Mansfield. Our Mourvèdre block is perched high above the south fork of the American River on a terraced hillside carved out of well-draining yellow gravel and sandstone soils. This medium bodied wine offers aromatics of red and black fruits coupled with tobacco, anise, forest floor, leather, and dried meats.
