2011 El Dorado Mourvedre

Skinner Estate Grown Mourvèdre from the 2011 vintage is a delightful red wine hailing from the picturesque El Dorado region. This wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a balanced yet noticeable acidity that adds vibrancy to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious flavors of dark berries intertwined with subtle earthy notes and hints of spice. Tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated, lending structure and depth without overwhelming the palate. As a dry wine, it offers a refined finish that invites contemplation and enjoyment, making it a fantastic companion for rich dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
