For this wine we decided on specific rows in one of Washington's Best Vineyards. Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain is a terrific site, especially for late ripening grapes such as Mourvèdre. We love the sandy soil, aspect on the vineyard, and ultimatley the heat that this vineyard receives.
Mourvèdre is a late ripener and needs a lot of heat to get fully ripe. Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain provides a great spot for this grape. Our fruit was picked on 10/16 based solely on acid levels.
pH 3.84
TA 5.2 g/L
Typical Mourvèdre doesn't have near the tannin structure as some if its Bordeaux counterparts. This Mourvèdre from Red Mountain is a little different so, we left the skins in contact for an extended time to extract more flavor, color, and backbone. This was then pressed and put into neutral puncheons for aging. The wine was never racked and then bottled as a single varietal.
