(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Doug McCrea
Mourvèdre is gaining great respect and desirability in Washington State. The Mourvèdre comes from Beaucastel stock via Tablas Creek nurseries, planted at Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain. In the beginning our purpose in planting Mourvèdre was for our southern-Rhône style blend (“Sirocco”), but we couldn’t resist producing a small quantity as a single varietal. It has proved to be a very popular decision! It is our single most popular bottling, particularly on restaurant wine lists.

Airfield Estates
2009 Mourvedre
View Label
Appellation: Yakima Valley
Airfield Estates
(Prosser, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Marcus Miller
Until now, this varietal has solely been used as a blending component at Airfield. The 2009 vintage exuded such complexity and balance that we felt compelled to showcase it as a stand-alone wine. Layers of white pepper, truffle, spice, oak, dark plum, and blackberries unite in an exceptional harmony of flavors. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, this well-balanced wine pairs great with lamb, braised short ribs, peppered steak, and richly flavored stews.

In the Cognito, we blend our signature Rhone style with another Paso Robles all-star, old vine Zinfandel. Bursting with powerful, ripe aromas, the 2005 Cognito piles the best of all four varietals into one very approachable package.

Spann Vineyards
2006 Mo Zin
Appellation: California
Blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, Petite Sirah,
Spann Vineyards
(Glen Ellen, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Betsy Spann
This Provence-style blend is 42% Zinfandel, 30% Mourvedre, 20% Petite Sirah and 8% Syrah. Zinfandel from several old vine vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley and Mendocino County create a marvelous base of blackberry flavors while Mourvedre adds bursts of raspberry and a palate coating, meaty/beefy taste. Petite Sirah adds a touch of peppery spice while Syrah adds richness and body. This matches well with everything from grilled ahi tuna to Italian red sauce dishes to lamb and red meats.

Walter Dacon Wines

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Loyd Anderson
Bright, clean, powerful, extracted cherry with hints of rhubarb. The aromas of raspberry jam, with floral overtones, are complimented by subtle oak smokiness which leads to intense flavors of plums and allspice. Wonderfully expansive fine grain tannins and firm acidity layer in harmony with nicely balanced fruit. Thoroughly enjoyable in its youth, this wine will emerge even better with age.

Phantom Rivers Winery
2007 Mourvedre, Larner Vineyard
Appellation: Santa Ynez Valley
Phantom Rivers Winery
(Arroyo Grande, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: John Thunen
This uncommon wine is traditionally used in French Rhone blends along with Syrah and Grenache. The fruit comes from Larner Vineyard which has established an outstanding reputation for Rhone varietals. This 100% Mourvedre was produced in French oak barrels and aged for 18 months. This wine is well structured with plum and berry fruit flavors and a light gamey finish that makes this the perfect combination for spicy dishes of pork, lamb or venison.
