Mourvedre
Filter
Known as Mataro, or Monastrell. Mourvedre is grown in regions around the world. That include California, Washington State, Rhone, Provence, Spain, and Australia. Primarily used to produce red wines, Mourvedre is occasionally blended with Syrah and Grenache. Mourvedre is also used to produce port fortified wines and rose. Mourvedre produces tannic wines that have high alcohol content. The wine styles that are produced from Mourvedre vary greatly according to the region where it is produced. Mourvedre can be difficult to grow is at prefers hot sun and moist climate. It needs very warm weather. Although it produces a low leaf to fruit ratio, adequate water, or irrigation produces intensely flavored Mourvedre that is not overly jammy. Wines that are produced with Mourvedre often have earthy or wild game notes to them with soft red fruity flavors. Mourvedre fruit is small and thick skinned with high phenolic compounds that have the potential to produce deeply colored, very tannic wines if they are harvested at high sugar levels. However, the variety is rarely harvested at sugar levels below 13% alcohol because the flavors at those lower levels are often weak if great care is not taken at the vineyard.

Review:
"Opaque ruby. Dark berries, coconut and a hint of spiciness on the powerfully scented nose. In a round and generous style, showing very good depth and appealing sweetness to the blackberry and cherry cola flavors. Soft, even tannins add gentle grip to a long, smooth finish that leaves hints of vanilla and dark fruits behind. Raised in a combination of French and American oak barrels. - Josh Raynolds"

Rombauer Vineyards Proprietor Selection Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Proprietor Selection is a reserve Chardonnay produced only in exceptional vintages by blending the best barrels from the finest lots. The 2020 represents the 14th vintage in 41 years. Like all of our Chardonnays, this wine comes from Carneros where the cool climate and clay soils offer ideal growing conditions for the varietal.
This wine comes from elite vineyards in the Carneros region owned by the Rombauer family and select growers including the Sangiacomo family, long-term grower partners who have farmed this land for three generations
A beautiful pale yellow, there are multifaceted layers of aromas including caramelized pineapple, lemon rind, baked green apple, toast, and vanilla. The densely concentrated palate features notes of powerful stone fruit, floral honey, baking spice, and vanilla, all building, with a fresh, mouthwatering acidity, to a long and lingering finish.
Turley Pesenti Zinfandel is made from 100 percent Zinfandel.
This certified organic estate-owned vineyard was planted in the 1920s on primarily limestone soil. Though the vines are head-trained and dry-farmed, the soil plays the most important role in distinguishing this vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles. The wines have a brightness, with chalk and floral characteristic aromas unique to the site, and to Zinfandel in general.
Review:
Dark and brambly, with brooding plum and blackberry flavors accented by licorice, clove and smoked pepper tones as this builds grip toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2035. 2,387 cases made.
