Starry Night Mourvedre 2011

Mourvedre, which is widely planted in Spain and France, has a long history in California with plantings dating back over 100 years. Our Mourvedre comes from head pruned vines planted at an elevation of 1,200 feet above a large, well know lake in Northern California. 

These vines produce a small crop that hangs late into the growing season and allows for fully developed flavors of ripe plums and blackberries  with hints of sage, cocoa and anise. This wine pairs well with pork, chicken, game and hearty dishes.
