2023 Mourvèdre Ward Eisan Vineyard
2023 is only our second vintage of Mourvèdre at the ranch, but it was instantly apparent this Rhone variety is very comfortable on the property and we have already planted more. The '23 vintage gave us a single barrel of rich, balanced wine -- "hedonistic" winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses calls it, with "aromas of dried plum and rose petal balancing subtle meaty undertones." 24 cases bottled.
