Mourvedre -Our Inaugural Vintage

Our wonderful inaugural vintage of Mourvedre has a unique story:
The 2009 El Dorado Mourvédre (only 50 Cases produced!)  is sourced from a unique site in El Dorado managed by Ron Mansfield.
Our Mourvédre 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. To order, Click Here   ($24)
