Mourvèdre
is sold out
The
2008 Mourvèdre, Thompson Vineyard is medium
dark with black tea and white rose aromas. It has edgy tannins,
nice spice/red fruit flavors and our trademark lingering finish.
Made entirely with fruit from Thompson vineyard. We added in 33%
Grenache to add complexity. Only three barrels produced. (73 cases
produced – very limited))
• The Thompson Vineyard Davis
Clone Mourvèdre was harvested October 22 at 23.6 brix,
3.4 pH.
• Whole grape clusters were foot stomped in small bin
boxes, chilled for 24 hours, and went through 14 days of fermentation.
• One barrel of Thompson Vineyard Grenache (33%) was blended
in to produce this wine. While it is legally a Mourvedre, it
is our nod in the direction of the great Rhone Valley blends
we admire.
• The must was inoculated with D254 yeast.
• Went through ML fermentation completing in February.
• One new American, two older barrels were used.
• Less than 14% alcohol.
• Racked in early July and again before bottling.
• Unfined and lightly filtered.
• Bottled in September 2009.
