2020 StoneTree Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre is a relatively late ripening varietal, thriving on sun-drenched hillsides like the Wahluke Slope’s StoneTree Vineyard. Red plum, wild rose and garrigue notes are on display here, framed beautifully by the grape’s meaty and peppery character.  Fresh on the palate, the wine finishes with a dried herb component and ripe, plush tannins. The subtle earthy tones of this wine intertwine wonderfully with juicy, wild, and brambly fruit, resulting in a charmer that is delicious on release and can be cellared for at least 7 years.

Pairing Suggestion

Red meats and game particularly with mushroom and pepper sauces, wild boar, pork chops, and roasted, spice driven vegetable dishes like Morrocan chicken or smoked cauliflower steaks will pair nicely with Mourvèdre.
