2023 Mourvèdre

Horse Heaven Hills

We’re excited to release our 2023 Mourvèdre, which follows in the footsteps of our acclaimed 2022 vintage from Alder Ridge Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills.

Mourvèdre (pronounced more-VED-ruh) is a varietal from Southern France. It is the “M” in “GSM” (Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre) blends from the Rhone Valley.

We like to take our Mourvèdre in a lighter, fruitier direction, while still maintaining its complex aromas of earthy, black cherry fruit, with black pepper and blackberry on the finish. A little bit of Syrah from Angiolina Vineyard provides structure and lusciousness.

This versatile wine pairs with braised or roasted meats, like pot roast, oven-roasted whole chicken and turkey, Tacos de Carnitas, and dishes with smoky, spicy components, such as lentil chili.
