Tasting Notes
The whole raison d’etre of a single vineyard offering is to highlight a particular vineyard that is the epitome of a particular region or is highly individualistic. This one falls “square peg in a round hole” in the latter camp. It's a lesser known clone planted in an unusual cooler spot and harvests so late that the holidays and Santa are clearly in its sights. The resulting wines are among the most interesting, bright, lively, expressions of a structured Mourvedre you will see. It does not feel kinship with other Paso Robles Mourvedres and is better showcased on its own.
