2019 Mourvedre
Platinum Medal - SIP Best of the Northwest
Gold Medal, 91 pts. - Washington Wine Awards, May 2023!
McKinley Springs Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA
100% Mourvedre
Neutral Barrel Fermented
Meet the garrigue of the Horse Heaven Hills: the sage brush. Smooth, savory, & elegant. Earthy and peppery tones are accompanied by notes of cherries, dark raspberries & red-fleshed plum. This wine develops and expands as it moves across the palate.
Ready for drinking but if you have the patience cellar it for 5-7 years.

Winemaker Notes
Summer temps were notably cooler and more even in 19 than previous vintages and the rains came early.
