Mourvшdre 2005 Thompson Vineyards, Santa Barbara County -Picked in early November and nearly the last crop harvested from the vineyard. A saignщe reduction method was used in addition to fermentation and aging for 18 months in neutral and 3 year old French barrels. Only a very light touch of oak characteristic is imparted, with most of the tannin coming from the fruit itself. An elegant wine with dark fruit flavors. A touch of Grenache was added for spice. An earthy food wine that will compliment robust flavors such as Thai red curry, roasted and caramelized meats, eggplant or garlic based dishes. Our Mouvшdre is also known to go with a good cigar and is good "straight up".
Cheese pairings:а Fioretto, Chaubier, Piave and Bucheron.
Price: $300.00 per case / $25.00 per bottle. Full case discount price of $250.00.
