We are always excited to work with Mourvèdre from Stillwater Creek Vineyard and we have consistently blended a little Syrah into our Mourvèdre (and vice versa) over the years. This 50/50 blend delivers hints of lavender, leather and oak open into flavors ripe, dark fruits, berries and earth. A long, soft finish invites another sip…
The Mourvedre was gently coopered in three year old (neutral) American oak for twenty-one months to maintain as much varietal character as possible while the Syrah was aged in new Hungarian oak for twenty-one months to lend a Smokey, earthy element to the final blend.
